| dc.description.abstract | This study is concerned with the origins, objectives, and operations of the Truman Administration's strategic psychological warfare effort. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Between 1946 and 1952, the Truman Administration originated and used an unprecedented organization to project the American image worldwide, during a period of peace. Though enduring many name changes, the organization was most often known as the United States Information and Educational Exchange Agency (U.S.I.E.). | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | U.S.I.E. was given the task of supporting and assisting United States foreign policy and countering Soviet propaganda throughout the world. Three major periods of operations are discerned, dealing with a particular employment philosophy as approved at the National Security Council. During the period studied, U.S.I.E. propaganda changed from the philosophy of a "full and fair" picture of the United States to one of countering Soviet propaganda and attacking Soviet principles and leadership. | en_US |
