ebooks Action Dharma: New Studies in Engaged Buddhism (Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism) by From Brand: Routledge in History

Description

During World War II; the UK government created the Central Office of Information to act as the country’s marketing and communications agency. In these desperate times; the Office produced steady streams of propaganda for the home front; for the colonies and for dissemination through occupied countries. In addition to patriotic material encouraging Britons to maintain a stiff upper lip; thousands of postcards; leaflets; posters; booklets and other promotional materials were dropped from aircraft over occupied countries in World War II. In 2000; the master set of copies was deposited with the British Library; making an enormous collection of great social and historical significance available to the public for the first time.
