This book examines historic examples of US public diplomacy in
order to understand how past uses and techniques of foreign public
engagement evolved into modern public diplomacy as a tool of
American statecraft. The study explores six historic cases where
the United States’ government or private American citizens actively
engaged with foreign publics, starting with the American Revolution
in 1776 through the passage of the Smith-Mundt Bill of 1948. Each
case looks specifically at the role foreign public engagement plays
in American statecraft, while also identifying trends in American
foreign public engagement and making connections between past
practice of foreign public engagement and public diplomacy, and
analyzing how trends and past practice or experience influenced
modern American public diplomacy.
