Radio in wartime

By Sherman Harvard Dryer

Subjects: propaganda, World War, 1939-1945, Propaganda, Radio broadcasting

Description: This pamphlet describes and summarizes the effect of radio on the conduct and impact of modern war. It shows how modern strategy literally depends on use of radio communication and describes, too, the 'fourth front' of propaganda warfare which radio has opened up. In reviewing radio's war time uses in perspective, it suggests that radio today, in war, is in 'dress rehearsal' for the peace that will come later. War is its testing time. Its future -- and our own -- depends in no small measure on what it can now achieve by way of prosecuting the strategy of truth and service to the public.
