Informational Strategy and the Will of the American People

Abstract

This paper is about the moral character of the American people. It is about the source of national power that political scientists call national morale, or national will. Specifically, I examine the informational strategies employed by American presidents in their attempt to mobilize the national will. My ultimate aim is to better define the informational role of the Executive Branch, identifying a structure and a process which may be used in mobilizing the will of the American people in support of its national security strategy.
