Winning Hearts and Minds by Susan L Carruthers

This text examines the concept of terrorism in post-war British colonial insurgencies - Palestine, Malaya, Kenya and Cyprus - showing how propaganda against terrorism was an integral part of government counter-insurgency strategies. British governments repeatedly engaged in a "battle of minds" to influence how audiences in Britain (and elsewhere) perceived terrorism, in the belief that the enemy was not only those who had taken up arms against colonial rule, but also detractors of British policy at home and abroad, in particular, at the height of the Cold War, the international communist movement.
