France at War in the Twentieth Century Propaganda, Myth and Metaphor

France experienced four major conflicts in the fifty years between 1914 and 1964: two world wars, and the wars in Indochina and Algeria. In each the role of myth was intricately bound up with memory, hope, belief, and ideas of nation. This is the first book to explore how individual myths were created, sustained, and used for purposes of propaganda, examining in detail not just the press, radio, photographs, posters, films, and songs that gave credence to an imagined event or attributed mythical status to an individual, but also the cultural processes by which such artifacts were disseminated and took effect.Holman, Valerie is the author of 'France at War in the Twentieth Century Propaganda, Myth and Metaphor' with ISBN 9781571817709 and ISBN 1571817700.
