In the post-1945 Cold War framework, “psychological warfare” became central to the worldwide competition for “the minds and wills of men”. Thus the Truman and Eisenhower cultural offensive relied on information networks, oftentimes CIA-funded and relaying State Department policy, which projected abroad a carefully designed image of the United States. Cast against the shortcomings of the Soviet model, this myth-creating reflection of America alternately glorified People’s Capitalism and the American Way of Life, mass culture and scientific achievements, “Atoms for Peace” or the American Revolution
