Telconia set off on a mission to sever the five transatlantic cables linking Germany and the United States. Thus Britain launched its first attack of World War I and simultaneously commenced what became the war's most decisive battle: the battle for American public opinion. In this revealing study, Chad Fulwider analyzes the efforts undertaken by German organizations, including the German Foreign Ministry, to keep the United States out of the war. Utilizing archival records, newspapers, and "official" propaganda, the book also assesses the cultural impact of Germany's political mission within the United States and comments upon the perception of American life in Europe during the early twentieth century. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zGermany$xPropaganda 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zUnited States$xPublic opinion 606 $aPropaganda, German$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNeutrality$zUnited States$y20th century 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPropaganda. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aPropaganda, German$xHistory 615 0$aNeutrality 676 $a659.2 676 $a940.373 700 $aFulwider$b Chad R$01811855 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969719103321 996 $aGerman Propaganda and U.S. Neutrality in World War I$94363983 997 $aUNINA
