"In recent years, Cold War studies have undergone a modest revolution. In addition to the
many political, diplomatic, and military books and articles on the Cold War, a few scholars
have begun to focus on the importance of soft power in the confl ict. Cold War Broadcasting
is a welcome addition to that small but growing body of scholarship... the articles and documents provide a wealth of new information that lays the foundation for a critical analysis of RFE/RL’s and other western broadcasters’ impact on the Soviet Union and its satellites in eastern Europe."
