An authoritative study of British civilian morale and the work of the Ministry of Information during the Second World War. Ian McLaine examines how the Ministry attempted to assess and sustain public morale while addressing propaganda, censorship, press freedom, post-war social reform and attitudes towards Britain’s wartime allies.
Drawing upon confidential wartime intelligence reports and other contemporary evidence, the book provides valuable insight into the Ministry’s internal debates and the political, psychological and communications problems faced by a society at war. Illustrated with contemporary posters, advertisements, photographs and other examples of wartime publicity.
