Synopsis

In August 1914 Britain's first act of war was not to mobilize its army or the Grand Fleet. It was to cut cables preventing German propaganda from reaching American newspapers. Richard Milton exposes the secrets of a relationship steeped in mutual admiration, blood and propaganda, focusing on two world wars and the period in between. It is surprising, powerful and necessary reading for anyone interested in the black arts of propaganda in warfare and how governments shape the opinions of their people.

Review

'Unless I am wholly deceived, the Germans speaking generally, from Hitler to the man in the street, do want friendly relations with Great Britain. There are no doubt many who don't: and the leading men may be deliberately throwing dust in our eyes. But I don't think so...' Lord Halifax in the 1930s 'An authoritative compilation.' -- Sunday Times 'Agreeably readable' -- Irish Independent
