“In reality, though, U.S. and Soviet psychological warfare programs each fed its rival’s appetite for escalated conflicts, particularly in contested countries in the Third World. Scientific research programs on either side that claimed to be a defensive reaction to foreign intrigues were easily interpreted in the rival’s camp as aggressive preparations for war.”
Christopher Simpson, Science of Coercion: Communication Research and Psychological Warfare, 1945-1960

“At least six of the most important U.S. centers of postwar communication studies grew up as de facto adjuncts of government psychological warfare programs.”
Christopher Simpson, Science of Coercion: Communication Research and Psychological Warfare, 1945-1960
