This international history of the origins and nature of 'cold war'
offers the first systematic examination of the complex relationship
between the United States and Italy, and of American debates about
warfare in the years between World War II and the Korean War.
Kaeten Mistry reveals how the defeat of the Marxist left in the
1948 Italian election was perceived as a victory for the United
States amidst a 'war short of war', as defined by influential
planner George Kennan, becoming an allegory for cold war in
American minds. The book analyses how political warfare sought to
employ covert operations, overt tactics and propaganda in a
co-ordinated offensive against international communism. Charting
the critical contribution of a broad network of local, religious,
civic, labour, and business groups, Mistry reveals how the notion
of a specific American success paved the way for a problematic
future for US-Italian relations and American political warfare.
