    Introduction

    (This is the first volume of a three-volume set of war propaganda


    posters. It features over 200 high-resolution images that have been
    digitally enhanced in order to give them maximum impact.)

    Propaganda is information that is designed to convince the reader


    or viewer to accept a certain point of view or set of facts. It has
    come to usually have a negative meaning because it is often
    manipulative and deceptive in its presentation and usually seeks to
    evoke an emotional response in the reader rather than a logical
    response.

    Propaganda is not a recent phenomenon. The first examples of


    propaganda were produced before the time of Christ, over 2000
    years ago. Of course, these days propaganda has become much
    more sophisticated and can be found in many different media.

    This 3-volume series of propaganda posters is focused on the vast


    amount of propaganda that was produced for World War One and
    World War Two, with the First World War representing the first
    time that governments had produced large-scale organized
    amounts of propaganda in order to influence public opinion and to
    encourage certain values and ideas among their populations. The
    propaganda poster became perhaps the most important and
    interesting form of propaganda produced by all the governments
    involved in the two world wars.

    This series of Kindle Coffee Table Books consists of nearly 700 war
    propaganda posters, mostly from the United States (which
    produced nearly 200,000 different designs), but also from a
    number of other countries. The bulk of the collection is from
    World War Two, with a smaller number from World War One.
    Chapters have been organized to represent different themes. They
    include such things as encouraging people to buy war bonds,
    motivating workers in factories to produce more armaments and
    other war necessities, warning soldiers about the dangers of
    venereal diseases, creating a patriotic fervor among the populace
    and, of course, demonizing the enemy. Posters were placed in
    places such as factories, post offices, train stations, schools,
    restaurants, and stores.

    Many of the posters in this collection are rather dark and even
    gruesome, and one of the more troubling aspects of the posters is
    the vicious racist portrayals of the enemies, primarily the Japanese.
    Apparently, if you wanted to demonize the enemy in wartime, it
    was considered permissible to be over-the-top in depicting racist
    images.

    The purpose of this book is twofold. It provides the reader with a


    unique insight into the culture surrounding the two world wars,
    but it will also, hopefully, foster an appreciation for the art and the
    artists that created these remarkable posters. Competitions were
    held among government agencies, which would then choose the
    best designs. The artists were not compensated for their work, but
    perhaps saw it as their patriotic contribution to the war effort.

    I hope you’ll enjoy viewing these fascinating posters, and if the


    spirit moves you it would be great if you could write a quick review
    on our Amazon page!
