Our thanks go out to William Nett for supplying these handouts which were distributed by British PSYOPs in and around al-Basrah, Iraq. The leaflets perform a Civil Affairs role helping to build trust between the Iraqi people and the Multi-National forces by showing that the Coalition troops are there to help Iraq to a better and brighter future, whereas the terrorists just offer chaos and death. |

We are proud to announce the upcoming release
of M. E. Roberts’ new book Villages of the Moon: Psychological Operations
in Southern Afghanistan. ( ISBN 1-4137-5771-5, SRP $19.95)
Villages of the Moon offers a unique perspective into the challenging role
of a U.S. Army Psychological Operations Team working in Afghanistan after
the collapse of the Taliban and Al Qaeda. From tiny firebases scattered
along hundreds of desolate miles of “moonlike” territory, PSYOP teams spread information through face-to-face communication, radios, and printed
products which were passed out to local civilians. In tandem with Special
Forces, far from the security of an American military base, these small
self-contained units traveled the back roads and trails of the Afghan
countryside to assess the needs of the people, help encourage local
leaders, and inform people of the changes coming about in the country.
This is the story of how those operations were carried out in one small
area on a global field of battle.

A warm welcome to all our new visitors! PsyWar.Org was recently blogged which has led to a rapid increase in traffic to the site. If you are one of those who have just found this site, I hope you enjoy your visit here and find it entertaining as well as educational. Please keep coming back. All these new visitors have impacted the site a little and has had to be shut down for a few hours because of exceeding bandwidth limits. I'm sure in a day or two things will return to normal with 100% uptime of the propaganda leaflet database and the rest of the psychological warfare site.
Please remember that PsyWar.Org is a self-financed labour of love, so any donations to help to keep it running are greatly appreciated. Just a dollar a year from a visitor would do the trick!

Thought for today:
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Sir Winston Churchill
