    Notes The nephew of Sigmund Freud whose family had emigrated to the US when he was still a baby, is known as a pioneer in the field of "public relations" and propaganda. When joining George Creel's "Committee on Public Information" he contributed to the propaganda against the "Huns", causing serious consequences for many German Americans. His key publications are Propaganda (1928) and Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923).
