Selling the Gulf War (PR Perspectives)

During the invasion of Kuwait in 1990, the Kuwaiti government enlisted the help of a global PR firm, Hill & Knowlton, who masterminded a campaign that 'sold the war' to America in the efforts of freeing Kuwait. Below is a two part special, entitled 'To Sell A War: Gulf War Propaganda', which aired on CBC in December 1992.  

Another interesting video is a special edition of the Al-Jazeera Listening Post, which also looks at the role of the media in selling the 1990 Gulf War, as well as the US's attempt at controlling wartime narrative.
