Posters and Propaganda in Wartime

Product Description

During the two world wars of the 20th century, the British government used posters to influence people on a massive scale. Posters were cheap and quick to produce and contained a potent mixture of information and emotion.
Posters were stuck up everywhere - in classrooms, offices, pubs, ports, factories and shops. They encouraged men and women to join the services, grow vegetables, make do and mend, raise money for the war effort and to stay cheerful and resolved in the face of fear and hardship.
This book tells the fascinating story of these weapons of mass persuasion.
