Note
Instructional and informational material concerning psy-
chological warfare has been requested in a considerable number
of inquiries addressed to Propaganda Branch,Intelligence Division.
This SYLLABUS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFAREhas been pre-
pared to meet such inquiries until more basic documentation is
available. Psychological warfare, sometimes called military pro-
paganda, is a subject new to formal American military doctrine;
its definition in relation to other military topics will accordingly.
take special time and care. A field manual, a technical manual,
ordnance and air studies and other appropriate documents are in
course of preparation, but until they are approved for publication,
no book or outline can be represented as expressing the official
views and policies of the War Department. This SYLLABUS is
designed to serve during the interim and it must be understood to
be provisional in character. It will be superseded when the more
formal publications become available.
This SYLLABUSis designed either for independent reading
or for course instruction. It has been prepared by Major Paul
M. A. Linebarger, AUS, who is in civilian life a professor at the
School of Advanced International Studies, Washington, D.C.
Major Linebarger is also preparing a college-level textbook on
psychological warfare. He has worked in this field at the old
Psychological Warfare Branch, the O.W.I., the CBI and China
Theater propaganda facilities and this Branch.
The Psychological Warfare Division, G-2, Army Ground
Forces has closely cooperated inthe preparation of this SYLLABUS
for publication. Propaganda Branch issues and endorses this
SYLLABUS only to the extent of making it available as an instruc-
tional aid.
