Description:
A collection of propaganda posters used by the U.S. government to explain and promote the war effort in Europe and the Pacific. The exhibit is divided into two parts: patriotism, and the horrors of war. There are a number of familiar images, including the famous "Four Freedoms" series by Norman Rockwell. A fascinating look at the psychology of wartime communication from the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration.
