In the 1950s and 1960s, images of children appeared everywhere,
from movies to milk cartons, their smiling faces used to sell
everything, including war. In this provocative book, Margaret
Peacock offers an original account of how Soviet and American
leaders used emotionally charged images of children in an attempt
to create popular support for their policies at home and abroad.
Groups on either side of the Iron Curtain pushed visions of
endangered, abandoned, and segregated children to indict the
enemy's state and its policies. Though the Cold War is often
characterized as an ideological divide between the capitalist West
and the communist East, Peacock demonstrates a deep symmetry in how
Soviet and American propagandists mobilized similar images to
similar ends, despite their differences. Based on extensive
research spanning fourteen archives and three countries, Peacock
tells a new story of the Cold War, seeing the conflict not simply
as a divide between East and West, but as a struggle between the
producers of culture and their target audiences.
