George W. Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” banner in 2003 and the misleading linkages of Saddam Hussein to the 9/11 terrorist attacks awoke many Americans to the techniques used by the White House to put the country on a war footing. Yet Bush was simply following in the footsteps of his predecessors, as the essays in this standout volume reveal in illuminating detail.
Written in a lively and accessible style, Selling War in a Media Age is a fascinating, thought-provoking, must-read volume that reveals the often-brutal ways that the goal of influencing public opinion has shaped how American presidents have approached the most momentous duty of their office: waging war.
Kenneth Osgood, associate professor of history at Florida Atlantic University, is the author of Total Cold War: Eisenhower’s Secret Propaganda Battle at Home and Abroad, winner of the Herbert Hoover Book Award.
