Adventures In Propaganda; Letters From An Intelligence Officer In France [Illustrated Edition]

Many of the memoirs from the American Expeditionary Force cover the fighting that raged in 1918: from the shellfire to the wounds, glorious exploits and so forth. What marks Captain Blankenhorn’s memoirs as so very different is the role that he served in during the War; he was an intelligence officer in charge of evaluating enemy propaganda and producing Allied propaganda for his own troops and those of the enemy. From posters to handbills, Blankenhorn’s efforts whilst lesser known are equally fascinating and meritorious.

“…illustrations include some interesting samples of German and Allied propaganda. .” p. 214, Edward Lengel, World War I Memories, 2004, The Scarecrow Press, Lanham Maryland, Toronto, Oxford.
