Grappling Above Their Weight Class
The 1970s were big for national anniversary celebrations. The U.S. Bicentennial was in 1976, of course, but two hundred years seemed barely worth mentioning, given that Poland had celebrated its millennium in 1966, Romania commemorated a 2050th anniversary in 1980, and Iran had one-upped everyone in 1971 by putting on a party for the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire. But for a girl growing up in Bulgaria in the 1970s, the only anniversary…

We Begin Bombing in Five Minutes
Over the past three decades, a “new Cold War history” movement has flourished, fed by the declassification of Western records and the opening of archives in the former Soviet bloc. This has been especially valuable for diplomatic historians, but cultural historians have also benefited from it, learning more about government agencies’ role in supporting independent groups like the Congress for Cultural Freedom and the National Student Association,…
Information Hunters
Information warfare” predates Facebook, even if it was called “psychological warfare” back in analog days. And in the pre–World Wide Web age, when information was scarcer and harder to obtain, its collection, not its dissemination, was key to victory. In Information Hunters Kathy Peiss documents how information gathering was central to the U.S. victory in Europe—and how “collecting” also came to mean, after the conflict ended, keeping information…
The Rising Clamor
For a secret organization, the Central Intelligence Agency (Cia) has garnered more media coverage than any American governmental institution, apart from the presidency. But as David P. Hadley shows in The Rising Clamor, the press has covered the Cia so much because the agency cultivated and romanced select reporters at major news outlets who would cover stories the way it wanted and would help create a mythology for it. But that strategy worked f…
Hearts, Minds, Voices
In 2016, when Donald Trump referred to La Guardia Airport as looking like a “Third-World country,” he meant that it is shabby, dirty, and inefficient. But, as Jason Parker shows in Hearts, Minds, Voices, the term third world did not always have this baggage. Initially, it simply referred to those nations aligned neither with the “first” (the West) nor the “second” (the Soviet bloc) worlds. Third World, therefore, was initially an empty designator…
The Prairie Propagandists
To haters who think that a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in creative writing means dropping $75,000+ for a degree that equips one for nothing but downward mobility, I submit this: a reclusive high-profile filmmaker who haunted the MFA program at my graduate institution was rumored to offer an annual six-figure prize to the student who wrote the screenplay he liked best. In his energetic and engaging new study Workshops of Empire: Stegner, Engl…
Cold War Modernists
Cold War Modernists documents how the CIA, the State Department, and private cultural diplomats transformed modernist art and literature into pro-Western propaganda during the first decade of the Cold War

"An examination of the legacy of modernism as a cultural movement and propaganda tool during the Cold War and the 1950s in America"--Provided by publisher.
For Home and Country
As Celia Malone Kingsbury points out in her admirably researched For Home and Country, World War I–era official and unofficial propaganda, particularly on the Entente and (later) American sides, presented a remarkably consistent argument: the enemy threatens your very home and family, and you must mobilize yourselves accordingly. Theorizing this rhetoric, Kingsbury uses—ironically—two German terms: Gemeinschaft, meaning a close-knit community of …
