4.0 out of 5 stars
A patriotic exploration of the WWI poster's contemporary context
While Rawls takes a somewhat naive approach to the motives and methods behind America's actions leading up to and during the First World War, his book incorporates the history of the propaganda poster into a readable, highly useful examination of WWI phenomena including the Committee on Public Information, the Liberty Loans and the US Food Administration...

2.0 out of 5 stars
Rather boring presentation of what should've been an exciting subject.
Another example of a bargain table book in a Barnes & Noble or Borders. Not much good to say for it.

This review is from: Wake Up, America. World War I and the American Poster. (Hardcover)
While Rawls takes a somewhat naive approach to the motives and methods behind America's actions leading up to and during the First World War, his book incorporates the history of the propaganda poster into a readable, highly useful examination of WWI phenomena including the Committee on Public Information, the Liberty Loans and the US Food Administration.
Essential reading for students of American military poster propaganda and the circumstances on the home front during the Great War, though I'd recommend getting your political interpretation of this period from other sources (for instance, "The Politics of War" by Walter Karp -- quite a different take on the same period, particularly on Wilson's motives).
