Propaganda and the End of British Rule in Palestine

With advances in mass education, communication and voting, public opinion played an increasing role in the making of British foreign policy in the twentieth century. This book explores the ways in which the post-war 1945-48 government sought to influence opinion on its long-term policy in Palestine, a policy that aimed to secure British political, economic and strategic interests in the Middle East while influencing the day-to-day discussions over the future of the Mandate. Kate Morris looks at the propaganda effort aimed at both a domestic and a foreign audience, and how this allowed Britain to achieve its long-term goals in regard to Palestine.For history and politics students this holds crucial information and knowledge that can only serve to enhance their degree course studies.
