The idea of the Cold War as a propaganda contest as opposed to a military conflict is being increasingly accepted. This has led to a re-evaluation of the relationship between economic policies, political agendas and cultural activities in Western Europe post 1945.

It therefore provides a valuable bridge between diplomatic and intelligence research and represents an important contribution towards our...
