Description:
Selling the American Way documents how U.S. officials defined and defended the American Way of Life in a quest to promote democratic capitalism and discredit communism, but faced great difficulties in reconciling their symbolic America with the complex political, economic, and strategic realities of the Cold War.
Review Quotes: "Well researched and clearly written, Selling the American Way is a welcome addition to a fast-growing body of literature on propaganda and the 'cultural Cold War.'"-- "Journal of American History"
