Riassunto

This is a study of the period 1939-45, when the British government, through the Ministry of Information, disseminated propaganda among European neutrals, whose behaviour in relation to the belligerents could materially effect the outcome of the war, and could not be left to chance, or the efforts of diplomats alone. Working against Axis competition, British Foreign Office mistrust, the neutral's suspiciousness and their own frequent ineptitude, the propagandists waged a long and bitter war of words in Sweden, Switzerland, Portugal and Spain. There were no guarantees; only the great danger that Britain could lose the war if they failed. Professor Robert Cole's other works include "The Dissenting Tradition" edited with Michael Moody and "A Traveller's History of France".
