Das Buch widmet sich dem Krieg der Worte, der von 41 exilösterreichischen "Psychokriegern" in US-Uniform im Zweiten Weltkrieg mit großer Verve gefochten wurde. Angeleitet von visionären Publizisten wie Hans Habe, ausgebildet in der "Journalistenakademie" Camp Sharpe, und aufgestellt in innovativen "Mobile Radio Broadcasting Companies", versuchten diese – nach ihrem Ausbildungsort bei Gettysburg benannten – Sharpe Boys "ins Hirn des Feindes zu kriechen": In Süd- und in Westeuropa vernahmen diese vor Hitler geflohenen Kampfpropagandisten als "Moralverhörer" deutsche und österreichische Kriegsgefangene; texteten deutschsprachige Flugblätter, die eingekesselten Landsern nüchtern und faktennah ihre Lage schilderten; riefen emotionale Propagandaappelle live in einen Lautsprecher, um gegnerische Kämpfer zur Desertion zu bewegen; schufen dramatische Rundfunk-Hörspiele, um Widersprüchlichkeit und Brutalität der Nationalsozialisten aufzuzeigen. Nicht kriegsentscheidend, aber kulturell spannend!
This volume is an attempt at providing an index for the location of artists' biographies. It includes works in ten languages, and for each artist includes the following: the artist's name, dates, nationality, and media employed. A three-letter code is used to list the volume in the bibliography which includes the artists' biography. Entries include variant spellings, pseudonyms, and alternate names. Artists are also indexed under variant names. As an example, Leonardo da Vinci can be located under both "L" and "V", with appropriate cross references.

For the first time, a single reference work will provide detailed information on each individual site. This first volu...
