In this volume, scholars from a variety of disciplines explore the ways in which the United States, Soviet Union, and their surrogates used print media to conduct ideological battles during the Cold War. Looking at materials ranging from textbooks and cookbooks to art catalogs, newspaper comics, and travel guides, essays examine topics such as the infiltration of book publishing by propagandists; the distribution of pro-American printed matter in postwar Japan; and the collaboration of foundations, academia, and the government to promote high culture as evidence of the superiority of Western values. Contributors also show how the ease of copying, transporting, and sharing print materials made them an effective way for opposition groups to challenge Cold War orthodoxies, disseminate satire, and expressing dissent.
