Routledge Propaganda, the Press and Conflict - Military History

Explore the complex relationship between media and modern warfare in Propaganda, the Press and Conflict: The Gulf War and Kosovo. Published by Routledge as part of the Contemporary Security Studies series, this book provides an incisive analysis of how the press is used for propaganda purposes during military operations. While many studies on conflict media focus on instant visual coverage, this work shifts the focus to the role of the press. By using the first Gulf War and the intervention in Kosovo as primary case studies, the text offers a comparative analysis that addresses a gap in current academic discourse. The research identifies five consistent propaganda themes used during these conflicts, including the specific portrayal of leader figures. This book is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in military history, media studies, and the evolving landscape of information warfare.
