Summary
One of the first studies to make cross-cultural comparisons of the socio-cultural aspects of the Cold War, these essays explore a range of issues including: broadcasting, public opinion and the consumption of popular culture. This book asks the reader to reassess the Cold War not just as superpower conflict and high diplomacy, but as social and cultural history. It makes cross-cultural comparisons of the socio cultural aspects of the Cold War across the East/West block divide, dealing with issues including broadcasting, public opinion, and the production and consumption of popular culture.
