Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book unveils the remarkable story of the Committee on Public Information, a World War I organization tasked with shaping public opinion both domestically and internationally. The author, who served as the Committee's chairman, offers a firsthand account of their efforts to "sell" America's ideals and war aims to a global audience. Operating under the belief that public support stemmed from understanding, the Committee employed a diverse array of tactics ââ â from pamphlets and speeches to films and exhibitions ââ â to inform and inspire the American public. Recognizing the power of the spoken word, they mobilized thousands of volunteers to deliver concise, impactful speeches across the nation. Beyond American borders, the Committee faced the challenge of countering German propaganda and garnering support from neutral nations. Utilizing innovative methods like wireless communication and strategically placed news bureaus, they disseminated information about America's commitment to democracy and its growing war efforts. This book not only chronicles the Committee's endeavors but also reflects on the crucial role of public opinion in modern warfare. It serves as a testament to the power of information and its ability to shape the course of history.
