American Historical Association, Walt Disney Studios / WHAT IS PROPAGANDA? 1st

Description: Walt Disney For The War DepartmentWHAT IS PROPAGANDA?By the American Historical Association(1944)Scarce original illustrated wartime pamphlet examining the characteristics and uses of propaganda, featuring iconic freethinker Donald Duck, who could not be persuaded to wear pants by Goebbels himself.Near fine. This manual for forum and discussion leaders offers a moderately nuanced picture of the qualities and uses of propaganda, both foreign and domestic, as practiced in the age of modern mass communications. Published by order of Secretary of War George Marshall, with the enforced cooperation of draftee Donald Fauntleroy Duck, recent star of the war's most famous Allied propaganda short, "Der Fuehrer's Face" (1943). Though clearly identified in the historical record as an enlisted man in the Army (see "Donald Gets Drafted" (1941), "The Old Army Game" (1943), et al.), Duck wears a non-regulation sailor suit in this manual's illustrations, a glaring dress-code violation not addressed in this otherwise thorough publication.Read more: Shale, Donald Duck Joins Up: The Walt Disney Studio During World War II.
