As Philip Taylor has written, ‘The challenge (of the modern information age) is to ensure that no single propaganda source gains monopoly over the information and images that shape our thoughts. If this happens, the war propagandists will be back in business again.’Propaganda came of age in the Twentieth Century. The development of mass-and multi-media offered a fertile ground for propaganda while global conflict provided the impetus needed for its growth. Propaganda has however become a portmanteau word, which can be interpreted in a number of different ways. What are the characteristic features of propaganda, and how can it be defined?The distinguished contributors to this book trace the development of techniques of ‘opinion management’ from the First World War to the current conflict in Afghanistan. They reveal how state leaders and spin-doctors operating at the behest of the state, sought to shape popular attitudes—at home and overseas—endeavouring to harness new media with the objective of winning hearts and minds. The book provides compelling evidence of how the study and practice of propaganda today is shaped by its history.

We all struggle with sin, whether its pride, lust, anger, or something else. In this gospel-centered resource, five church leaders offer practical advice for “acting” the miracle of sanctification God has already worked within us.

For decades, Japan's foreign policy has been seen by both internal and external observers as abnormal in relation to its size and level of sophistication. Japan as a 'Normal Country'? is a thematic and geographically comparative discussion of the unique limitations of Japanese foreign and defence policy. The contributors reappraise the definition of normality and ask whether Japan is indeed abnormal, what it would mean to become normal, and whether the country can—or should—become so.

Identifying constraints such as an inflexible constitution, inherent antimilitarism, and its position as a U.S. security client, Japan as a 'Normal Country'? goes on to analyse factors that could make Japan a more effective regional and global player. These essays ultimately consider how Japan could leverage its considerable human, cultural, technological, and financial capital to benefit both its citizens and the world.

Tackling head-on the most controversial and debated 'what if' in U.S. foreign policy, this provocative work explores what President John F. Kennedy would have done in Vietnam had he not been assassinated in 1963. Drawing on a wealth of recently declassified documents, frank oral testimony of White House officials from both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and the analysis of top historians, this book presents compelling evidence that JFK was ready to end U.S. involvement well before the conflict escalated. With vivid immediacy, readers will feel they are in the president's war room as the debates raged that forever changed the course of American history_and continue to affect us profoundly as the shadows of Vietnam stretch into Iraq.

Charts Hardy's life and artistic career.

Tre consulenti rivelano diversi modi per comunicare chiaramente la grazia di Dio alle vittime di violenze domestiche, dimostrando come assistere gli afflitti con sicurezza e umiltà. Affrontano poi la domanda: 'Come aiutare colui che fa violenza?' Impareremo che i violenti hanno molto in comune con gli altri. Quando si imparerà a controllare i propri sentimenti di collera, si riuscirà ad aiutare meglio altre persone con tendenze violente.

Published in the year 1994, The Third Reich is a valuable contribution to the field of History.

Hitler fece dell'arte della cospirazione un vero e proprio strumento politico, che lo aiutò a conquistare e consolidare il suo potere. Ma quell'abitudine a tramare tradimenti fu la stessa che altri utilizzarono invece per contrastarlo o, addirittura, per tentare di eliminarlo. Non solo alcuni degli uomini a lui più vicini, come i gerarchi nazisti, ma anche religiosi, intellettuali, studenti e lavoratori avevano creato reti sotterranee di cospirazione, mettendo in serio pericolo la stabilità del regime.
