    • Lügen in Kriegszeiten

      Kritische Betrachtungen

      Das erste Opfer des Krieges ist die Wahrheit. Schon im Ersten Weltkrieg zeigte sich das Phänomen, das für uns heute alltäglich geworden ist, und welches Arthur Ponsonby mit seinem weltbekannten Ausspruch zusammenfasste. Der steile Siegeszug der Propaganda, durch welche der Gegner entmenschlicht und die eigene Bevölkerung zum Krieg motiviert werden sollte, trieb nicht nur die jungen Männer in die Schützengräben von Verdun, sondern ebnete den Weg für die Schreckensherrschaft der Nationalsozialisten und die Informationskriege der Moderne. Die Ursprünge all dessen untersucht Ponsonby hier akribisch, sowohl am Beispiel seines Heimatlandes Großbritannien als auch den USA, Frankreich, Italien und Deutschland. Ein Buch von erschreckender Aktualität.

      Lügen in Kriegszeiten
    • Wydana po raz pierwszy w 1928 roku książka Kłamstwa czasów wojny była pierwszą tak wnikliwą analizą propagandy stosowanej przez angielskich polityków i media w okresie pierwszej wojny światowej. Odwołując się do artykułów prasowych, korespondencji wojennych, wystąpień parlamentarnych, a nawet rozsiewanych celowo plotek autor precyzyjnie ujawnia metody dezinformacji i manipulacji opinią publiczną stosowane po to, aby przekonać ludzi do poparcia działań wojennych i wzięcia w nich udziału. Z książki wynika jednoznacznie, że gdyby nie te kłamstwa i gdyby nie propaganda, jest mało prawdopodobne, aby obywatele Wielkiej Brytanii poparli decyzję o włączeniu się na front. Aby uzyskać ich przychylność, trzeba było zmienić ich obraz świata. To zaś udało się dokonać poprzez odwoływanie się do najbardziej prostych emocji: strachu, nienawiści, chęci odwetu, oburzenia, a także dzięki sloganom, w których sięgano do najwyższych wartości: patriotyzmu, sprawiedliwości i wolności.
