About this title

Synopsis

Hook line: A clear, concise history of how the United States used public information to win World War I on the world stage.

The book explains how the government created a broad information effort to explain America’s role in the war. It describes the shift from censorship to public information and how this approach shaped public opinion at home and abroad. You’ll see how the effort aimed to mobilize the mind of the world and defend democratic ideals against hostile propaganda.

From domestic campaigns to overseas outreach, the narrative uncovers the challenges, methods, and behind‑the‑scenes work that went into telling America’s story to friends, neutrals, and enemies alike. It covers the early limits of American publicity, the push to disseminate truth, and the people who drove the effort.

How the Committee on Public Information organized information for broad public reach

Strategies used to counter German propaganda and protect Allied morale

Examples of travel, tours, and press work that shaped international perceptions

Key figures and moments that marked the push for a moral defense of democracy

Ideal for readers of history, journalism, and public affairs who want a clear view of how information can support a nation's values during war.
