  • "Have you ever thought about what really goes on behind the walls of the White House or the Pentagon? Particularly in times of political upheaval, it often seems that the government and the media work together to keep the voting public confused and distracted. In Warriors of disinformation, Alvin A. Snyder, a former director of USIA's Television and Film Service, reveals the various propaganda campaigns sent out by the United States during the Cold War, one of the most strained, uncertain times in American political history. Snyder examines the "shady" billion-dollar dealings dedicated to "an exaggerated version of the truth," and how President Reagan deceived the Soviets with well-plotted plans of fabrication. Readers will be shocked by the lengths that our government went to in order to hide the truth, and to consistently lie to not only the Soviets, but also to the American people about what was going on in the "land of the free." Warriors of disinformation is an incredible look inside the government from someone who was on the front line. Hear stories that were never supposed to leave confidential meeting rooms and find out firsthand what went on behind closed doors. Snyder has a story to tell you, and you'd be crazy not to listen."
  • "With most things that go on in today's America, the voting public has little or no information of what's actually going on. In "Warriors of Disinformation", you see first-hand the government cover-ups, especially in the miniscule amount of knowledge we have on the material broadcast sent overseas by our government. Alvin A. Snyder, a former director of USIA's Television and Film Service reveals the various propaganda campaigns sent out by the US during the Cold War. He goes into detail to show all the 'shady' ways in which our government spent billions of dollars dedicated to "an exaggerated version of the truth" and how President Reagan used this to deceive and lie to the Soviets. The reader's of this book will be 'shocked and awed' at the lengths that our government went to cover-up the truth and to consistently lie to not only the Soviets, but the American people about what was going on in our "home of the free". ."
