As this study convincingly demonstrates, radio broadcasting played a crucial role both in government propaganda and within the context of the broader cultural and political transformations of wartime America. Gerd Horten's absorbing narrative argues that no medium merged entertainment, propaganda, and advertising more effectively than radio. As a result, America's wartime radio propaganda emphasized an increasingly corporate and privatized vision of America's future, with important repercussions for the war years and the postwar era. Examining radio news programs, government propaganda shows, advertising, soap operas, and comedy programs, Horten situates radio wartime propaganda in the key shift from a Depression-era resentment of big business to the consumer and corporate culture of the postwar period. 606 $aRadio broadcasting$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aRadio in propaganda$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aRadio broadcasting$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aRadio broadcasting$xHistory 615 0$aRadio in propaganda$xHistory 615 0$aRadio broadcasting$xPolitical aspects 676 $a940.54/88973 700 $aHorten$b Gerd$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01020852 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248200903316 996 $aRadio Goes to War$92416367 997 $aUNISA
