Here's what one of the readers says about our book on Dawson and the American Correspondent Film Company. Read more on www.amazon.com
Ron van Dopperen and Cooper Graham uncovered one of the least known, yet vastly important efforts in the Great War: Propaganda through film. The American Correspondent Film Company was the brainchild of Heinrich Albert, the German Commercial Attache and Spymaster in the United States during the war. With funds from the Imperial War Department he helped organize a wholly new propaganda war in the United States. Despite its failure to convince an American public not to go to war against Germany in World War I, the use of propaganda as a tactical weapon became one of the mainstays of Nazi Germany some twenty years later.
Van Dopperen and Graham's book is unique and a must read for anyone who wants to understand the use of propaganda in the twentieth century
