American booklets on World War II, 1940 November - December

This folder contains two booklets. The first was printed by the American Association for Adult Education and the second by the Princeton Listening Center. The purpose of the first booklet, titled "Defense Papers," is to help guide Americans on the "study of National Defense." Topics include the efficiency of rearmament, training workers for defense, risk to civil liberities, and Japan. "Defense Papers" also provides a list of books, pamphlets, radio programs, and films that relate to the topics. Princeton Listening Center is a project of the School of Public and International Affairs of Princeton University, financed by the Rockefeller Foudnation to study European international broadcasting in wartime. The booklet, titled "Britain Speaks: Broadcasts to America," is the twelfth in its series. It critiques the British Broadcasting Corporation, looking at its "voice," persuasion skills and tactics, themes, and effectiveness on American listeners.
