Oxford University Press Inc Colonel House
Book SynopsisA man who lived his life mostly in the shadows, Edward M. House is little known or remembered today; yet he was one of the most influential figures of the Wilson presidency. Wilson''s chief political advisor, House played a key role in international diplomacy, and had a significant hand in crafting the Fourteen Points at the Paris Peace Conference. Though the intimate friendship between the president and his advisor ultimately unraveled in the wake of these negotiations, House''s role in the Wilson administration had a lasting impact on 20th century international politics. In this seminal biography, Charles E. Neu details the life of Colonel House, a Texas landowner who rose to become one of the century''s greatest political operators. Ambitious and persuasive, House worked largely behind the scenes, developing ties of loyalty and using patronage to rally party workers behind his candidates. In 1911 he met Woodrow Wilson, and almost immediately the two formed what would become one of tTrade ReviewNeu has used House's diary and other papers to craft a remarkably vivid account of the political operator's life... Neu's engrossing narrative has such immediacy that readers share House's hurt and disappointment when Wilson abruptly ended their close friendship... A significant, brightly written American story. * Kirkus Reviews, starred review *Colonel House is an enduring analysis of one of the most complicated and important power relationships in American history, indeed in world history. This is a monumental work that stand the test of time. * Samuel R. Williamson, author of Austria-Hungary and the Origins of the First World War *A wonderful book and gripping all the way through. Charles Neu has done a splendid job. * Larry McMurtry, author of The Last Picture Show, Terms of Endearment, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Lonesome Dove *Charles Neu's long-anticipated biography of Colonel Edward House is a major achievement that has been worth the wait. The research is exhaustive. The analysis and evaluations are judicious, fully persuasive. The portraits of personalities and depictions of diplomatic vignettes are vivid. Neu's assessment of the U.S. political scene and the international relations of the Woodrow Wilson era is far-ranging and impressive. Readers now have available a comprehensive and enthralling study of one of the commanding figures in twentieth-century American history. * David Mayers, Boston University, author of FDR's Ambassadors and the Diplomacy of Crisis *At long last, Edward M. House has found the biographer he deserves. Charles Neu employs a sharply critical eye in winnowing fact from fantasy about the man whom contemporaries could call both America's 'finest diplomatic brain' and 'that devious son of a bitch.' * John Cooper, author of Woodrow Wilson: A Biography *A powerful and fascinating biography of a powerful man. Colonel House and Woodrow Wilson were unlikely partners, but they shared an interest in American politics in an era in which the United States was emerging as a world power. A great read for cold winter nights or a day at the beach. * Lou Galambos, Professor of History and Editor of the Eisenhower Papers, Johns Hopkins University *Neu has written a detailed, well-researched, definitive biography of House. Although other works have been written about House and Wilson, this book combines their lives into one volume (with the focus on House and his place in history) and affirms the important role of Texas politicians and leaders in the history of the United States. * Janet Schmelzer, Southwestern Historical Quarterly *Table of ContentsPROLOGUE: A Great Adventure ; PART I.

Taylor & Francis Propaganda Persuasion and the Great War
Book SynopsisHow to persuade citizens to enlist? How to convince them to fight in a war which was, for many, distant in terms of kilometres as well as interest? Modern persuasion techniques, both political and commercial, were used to motivate enlistment and financial support to build a factory of consensus. The propagandists manipulated the public, guiding their thoughts and actions according to the wishes of those in power and were therefore the forerunners of spin doctors and marketing and advertising professionals. Their posters caught the attention of members of the public with images of children and beautiful women, involving them, nourishing their inner needs for well-being and social prestige, motivating them by showing them testimonials in amusing and adventurous situations, and inspiring their way of perceiving the enemy and the war itself, whose objective was to make the world safe for democracy.In the discourse of this strategy we find storytelling, humour, satire and fTable of ContentsPreface Introduction 1 Propaganda and Persuasion2 Persuading for the Great War3 The Organization of the Persuasive Apparatus4 Attracting Attention 4.1 Children as decoy 4.2 Beauty as decoy5 Repeating the Message6 The Power of Questions7 The Persuasion of the Source 7.1 The authority of source 7.2 The authority of quotations8 Unity is Strength 8.1 Silencing the critics 8.2 Origins unite 8.3 The call of the banner 8.4 Other patriotic symbols of unity9 Target 1: The Home Front 9.1 Out of duty and solidarity 9.2 To educate, inform 9.3 Persuading to invest 9.4 Children and the principle of familiarity 9.5 Women as weapons of persuasion 9.6 Reciprocity.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Museums Modernity and Conflict
Book SynopsisMuseums, Modernity and Conflict examines the history of the relationship between museums, collections and war, revealing how museums have responded to and been shaped by war and conflicts of various sorts. Written by a mixture of museum professionals and academics and ranging across Europe, North America and the Middle East, this book examines the many ways in which museums were affected by major conflicts such as the World Wars, considers how and why they attempted to contribute to the war effort, analyses how wartime collecting shaped the nature of the objects held by a variety of museums, and demonstrates how museums of war and of the military came into existence during this period. Closely focused around conflicts which had the most wide-ranging impact on museums, this collection includes reflections on museums such as the Louvre, the Stedelijk in the Netherlands, the Canadian War Museum and the State Art Collections Dresden.Museums, Modernity anTable of ContentsIntroduction: Museums and War Kate HillPart I: Collecting and Conflict1.Salvage and Speculation: The London Art Market After the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71)’Thomas Stammers2.
