Psychological Warfare

This guide is an introductory list to help locate research materials at the Rowland Medical Library.  Psychological Warfare, also called Psywar,  is the use of propaganda against an enemy, supported by such military, economic, or political measures as may be required. Such propaganda is generally intended to demoralize the enemy, to break his will to fight or resist, and sometimes to render him favourably disposed to one's position. (Encyclopaedia Britannica)
