Opis

Political Warfare against the Kremlin provides a comparative studyand holistic review of American and British propaganda policy toward the Soviet Union during the first fifteen years of the Cold War, ranging from the role senior policymakers played in setting propaganda policy to the West's radio broadcasts to the Soviet Union."

Recenzje

'Lowell Schwartz takes us back to those perilous early cold war days when the West possessed very little between its broadcast and the Bomb to influence and contain the Soviet Union and its satellites. This book is a real feat of reconstruction.'

- Peter Hennessy, Attlee Professor of Contemporary British History, Queen Mary, University of London
