- Additional information
- This is a co-edited volume comprising 19 full-length chapters, including introductory essays and conclusions. It emerged from a conference on the subject of propaganda and persuasion held in the summer of 2014, and is based on in-depth original research and totalling 350 pages. The volume brings together 19 scholars, experts in a range of historical fields, based in the UK, continental Europe and the USA. The volume represents the latest thinking on the role of propaganda and persuasion in the twentieth century and its implications for the contemporary world. Connelly, Fox, Goebel and Schmidt as editors each led on a particular section of the book (Goebel Part 1, Connelly, 2, Schmidt, 3, Fox overarching introductory essay). A major aim was to make a significant historiographical statement, which each editor provided in an introductory essay for the major sections of the book. The editors reached clear conclusions on the historiographical discussions indicating how debates had formed and progress. These essays were exchanged for comment before the final version was completed by the relevant lead. The book is organized in three chronological sections. Each editor led in an area in which they had direct research experience. Each editor then liaised with the contributors to their own particular section and provided initial feedback on drafts before returning collective comment. Each author then produced a final draft, including Schmidt who also produced a co-written chapter in addition to his introductory-historiographical essay for his particular section of the work.
