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 bloc divide, dealing with issues including broadcasting, public opinion, and the production and consumption of popular culture.
