Zusammenfassung:This book reveals: how the Iraq war was sold to the American public through professional P.R. strategies; lies that were told related to the Iraq war; euphemisms and jargon related to the war, e.g. "shock and awe," "Operation Iraqi Freedom," "axis of evil," "coalition of the willing," etc.; how the war on terrorism and the war on Iraq have been used as marketing hooks to sell products and policies that have nothing to do with fighting terrorism; the efforts of Charlotte Beers and other U.S. propaganda campaigns designed to win hearts overseas; and how news coverage followed Washington's lead and language. The book includes a glossary, "Propaganda: a user's guide," and resources to help Americans sort through the deceptions to see the strings behind Washington's campaign to sell the Iraq war to the public.--From publisher description.
