This paper examines the development of the concept of the airship as a weapon of widespread destruction and the effect that entertainment literature and the popular press' presentation of this concept had on the English public and government's reaction to WWI Zeppelin attacks. The historical development of the concept of aerial attack on cities is traced from its first application in 1848, its portrayal in novels as a futuristic weapon of immense destructive power, German airship propaganda, and the many English press reports about the estimated capabilities and roles of the airship. When the airship was employed against England in WWI, the population reacted to the image planted in its mind by novels, nourished by propaganda and hyped by sensationalist press reports. Rumor, morbid curiosity, and a borderline hysterical fear of the airship and aerial attack spread throughout the English population to such an extent that industrial war production was affected. By the end of the war nearly a quarter million Londoners sought shelter each night from a relatively minor threat which over the course of four years inflicted casualties and property damage which amounted to less than that suffered on a quiet day in the trenches of the Western Front. This effect on the 'morale' of the public vice the physical damage inflicted became a driver of RAF airpower doctrine in the interwar years. The reaction of the citizenry of England to the airship raid is a testimony to the power of the written and spoken word and its ability to unsettle a nation.

Promoting Peace Inciting Violence written by Jolyon Mitchell and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013-01-04 with Religion categories.
This book explores how media and religion combine to play a role in promoting peace and inciting violence. It analyses a wide range of media - from posters, cartoons and stained glass to websites, radio and film - and draws on diverse examples from around the world, including Iran, Rwanda and South Africa. Part One considers how various media forms can contribute to the creation of violent environments: by memorialising past hurts; by instilling fear of the ‘other’; by encouraging audiences to fight, to die or to kill neighbours for an apparently greater good. Part Two explores how film can bear witness to past acts of violence, how film-makers can reveal the search for truth, justice and reconciliation, and how new media can become sites for non-violent responses to terrorism and government oppression. To what extent can popular media arts contribute to imagining and building peace, transforming weapons into art, swords into ploughshares? Jolyon Mitchell skillfully combines personal narrative, practical insight and academic analysis.
