A Cold War Creature which Sat out the War
A substantial body of literature argues that government funding motivated by the Cold War shaped (or distorted) the content of the American academic disciplines.

It documents the amount of attention given by researchers to the military sector of the Soviet economy, the topic of central importance for the Col…
