Total Cold War: Eisenhower's Secret Propaganda Battle at Home and Abroad

Osgood tells us in his introduction that the book "focuses on the major propaganda themes and campaigns developed [in the Eisenhower period] to influence public opinion in the 'free world.'" Psychological warfare waged against the Soviet Union is not a main thrust, and neither is the "daily propaganda effort to spin international developments as they occurred." C. D. Jackson was appointed as a White House aide with the title of special assistant for psychological warfare, with control of the Psychological Strategy Board.
