Nicholas John Cull examines Britain’s campaign to influence American opinion before the United States entered the Second World War. The book follows the development of British propaganda policy from the late 1930s through the outbreak of war, the Battle of Britain, the Blitz and the drive for American assistance.
It explores the work of the British Embassy, the Ministry of Information and the BBC, alongside the contribution of journalists, broadcasters and film-makers. Cull considers how news, photographs, radio and cinema presented Britain’s wartime experience to American audiences and challenged support for neutrality.
The study connects these publicity efforts with changing American attitudes and the wider diplomatic relationship between Britain and the United States. Illustrated with black-and-white historical photographs, it offers a detailed account of wartime persuasion and the relationship between public opinion, cultural influence and foreign policy. Of interest to readers studying the Second World War, propaganda, media history and Anglo-American relations.
