Des armées de mercenaires géants qui attaquent et égorgent, des saints qui transforment les pierres en encens, la Vierge qui multiplie ses apparitions, des otages transformés en réservoirs d’organes humains, des complots pour l’exode des chrétiens, contre les Palestiniens, pour la partition du Liban et de tout le Moyen-Orient, une machination diabolique de Kissinger… Interpellée par le très grand nombre de rumeurs circulant lors de la guerre du Liban, l’autrice a voulu, en analysant dans le détail les plus marquantes, percer le sens, la fonctionnalité et le fonctionnement de cette parole tourbillonnante qui paraissait n’être là que pour accroître encore l’effroi. L’ouvrage nous livre également une analyse de l’univers idéologique du monde arabe, de la structure de la société libanaise, de la guerre qui s’y est déroulée, et révèle la réactivation des mythologies maronite et arabo-musulmane. Dans les temps de crise, ce qu’on nomme « masse silencieuse » est en réalité une masse très loquace, trouvant dans les rumeurs son mode d’expression privilégié. Celles-ci façonnent un univers peuplé de monstres et de héros, de complots et de contre-complots. Par là, elles s’avèrent être un outil formidable pour une radioscopie en profondeur du corps social, puisqu’elles mettent le chercheur en rapport direct avec l’inconscient collectif, les mythes profonds qui informent et actionnent les représentations du présent. Elles nous renseignent sur les mécanismes qui contribuent à la perpétuation d’une guerre, la représentation de soi comme victime, l’autocélébration et finalement la mobilisation. Elles expriment la latence de la violence sociale et la propension de la collectivité à exhumer et cultiver, à fin d’extériorisation, les vieux mythes de persécution que toute société a en réserve. Parole née de la crise, la rumeur en entretient la permanence.

A classic work, Munitions of the mind traces how propaganda has formed part of the fabric of conflict since the dawn of warfare, and how in its broadest definition it has also been part of a process of persuasion at the heart of human communication. Stone monuments, coins, broadsheets, paintings and pamphlets, posters, radio, film, television, computers and satellite communications - propaganda has had access to ever more complex and versatile media." "This third edition has been revised and expanded to include a new preface, new chapters on the Gulf War, information age conflict in the post-Cold War era, and the world after the terrorist attacks of September 11. It also offers a new epilogue and comprehensive bibliographical essay." "The range of this book, as well as the analysis it offers, makes it an ideal text for all international courses covering media and communications studies, cultural history, military history and politics. It will prove accessible to the general reader."

During the Cold War, the Soviets were quick to publicize any incident of racial hostility in the United States. Since violence by white Americans against minorities was the perfect foil to America's claim to be the defender of freedom, news of these occurrences was exploited to full advantage by the Russians. But how did the Soviets gain primary knowledge of race riots in small American towns? Certainly, they had reporters stationed stateside, in big cities like New York, but research reveals that most of their information came directly from U.S. media sources. Throughout this period, the American press provided the foreign media with information about racially charged events in the United States. Such news coverage sometimes put Washington at a disadvantage, making it difficult for government officials to assuage foreign reactions to the injustices occurring on U.S. soil. Yet in other instances, the domestic press helped to promote favorable opinions abroad by articulating themes of racial progress. While still acknowledging racial abuses, these press spokesmen asserted that the situation in America was improving. Such paradoxical messages, both aiding and thwarting the efforts of the U.S. government, are the subject of The Opinions of Mankind: Racial Issues, Press, and Propaganda in the Cold War. The study, by scholars Richard Lentz and Karla K. Gower, describes and analyzes the news discourse regarding U.S. racial issues from 1946 to 1965. The Opinions of Mankind not only delves into the dissemination of race-related news to foreign audiences but also explores the impact foreign perceptions of domestic racism had on the U.S. government and its handling of foreign relations during the period. What emerges is an original, insightful contribution to Cold War studies. While other books examine race and foreign affairs during this period of American history, The Opinions of Mankind is the first to approach the subject from the standpoint of press coverage and its impact on world public opinion. This exhaustively researched and compellingly written volume will appeal to media scholars, political historians, and general readers alike. By taking a unique approach to the study of this period, The Opinions of Mankind presents the workings behind the battles for public opinion that took place between 1946 and 1965. --Book Jacket.
