Joining the Great War, April 1917-April 1918
Author: Eric B. Setzekorn
Publisher: Department of the Army

Category : History

Book Description
Eric Setzekorn summarizes the prewar United States Army, the initial American reaction to the outbreak of war in Europe in 1914, and the factors that led to the U.S. declaration of war in April 1917. The narrative then examines how the U.S. Army transformed itself from a small constabulary force into a mass, industrialized army capable of engaging in modern warfare. The author covers stateside mobilization and training, the formation of the American Expeditionary Forces, and the slow buildup of American forces in France, and concludes with U.S. soldiers helping to blunt the first phase of the 1918 German Spring Offensive.

Propaganda for War
Author: Stewart Halsey Ross
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Propaganda, American
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
As war raged in Europe, both Germany and Great Britain recognized the significance of United States neutrality on the conduct of the war. Both countries launched the first wave of war propaganda for the hearts and minds of Americans; the British sought to involve the United States as an active participant, while the Germans hoped to maintain at least some form of American neutrality. Once America entered the war in 1917, the United States government launched its own propaganda campaign. The president established the Committee on Public Information to rally the people to the war effort. As the war wound down, the Committee initiated still another campaign; this time the target was the Communists. This history details each campaign and examines the long-term effects of the government's first forays into mass persuasion.
