Enumerative Bibliographies

The bibliographical lists below are in their beginning phase as just lists of books on specific topics. I will be expanding them and converting the lists to proper bibliographical format as time permits. The long-term intention is to grow the bibliographies and annotate them, again as time permits. As the bibliographies expand, they will migrate to pages of their own.

  • Propaganda & Extremism This is my working bibliography for current research on the topic of modern American propaganda and extremism, with a focus on WWI and the Interwar period. There are several entries for background material in earlier periods, the Antebellum, Civil War, and Reconstruction periods, as they include significant propaganda campaigns in earlier forms.
