approach to both the tool and their audience.
Dr Grant explores a variety of differnt issues and campaigns, including the Post Office's attempts to make the public `telephone conscious', the Ministry of Health's sex education efforts, the multi-departmental and protracted `Drink More Milk' campaign. She shows how the experiences and developments of the 1920s and 1930s contributed to the decision in 1939 to establish the propaganda ministry designed to manage wartime publicity and shape public opinion.
The book offers valuable insights into the nature of propaganda and its management, and contributes to our understanding of the changing role of the state in modern British society.
