Journalism or propaganda ?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
A hard assessment of a less than lovable couple - Harry and Clare.Well written, researched in detail, the author portrays Harry Luce's business accumen as well as his drive for power, desire for association with royalty, aristocracy and tycoons of all colors - often lacking in good judgment as to heroes or villains. What started as a business enterprise developed into a propaganda tool for the Editor's opinions and beliefs - with hundreds of possibly otherwise talented writers and reporters toeing the line of the boss.The resulting influence on public opinion and the government proved disastrous in relations with China, prevented recognition of the dangers of the Nazi regime and fascism in Italy.
