Propaganda Warfare in the Cold War Global Battle
The piece argues that after World War II the Cold War shifted to propaganda as a cheaper alternative to military power. It notes China and the Soviet bloc pushing anti US sentiment, seeks to force U.S. withdrawal from Viet Nam, and urges building a coordinated Western propaganda effort while warning De Gaulle and Europe against reliance on Moscow or Beijing. The author calls for U.S. organization to win the propaganda war alongside military successes.
