Published at a time when the US government's public diplomacy has
been in crisis, this book provides an exhaustive account of how it
used to be done. The United States Information Agency was created,
in 1953, to 'tell America's story to the world' and, by engaging
with the world through international information, broadcasting,
culture, and exchange programs, became an essential element of
American foreign policy during the Cold War. Based on newly
declassified archives and more than 100 interviews with veterans of
public diplomacy, from the Truman administration to the fall of the
Berlin Wall, Nicholas J. Cull relates both the achievements and the
endemic flaws of American public diplomacy in this period. Major
topics include the process by which the Truman and Eisenhower
administrations built a massive overseas propaganda operation; the
struggle of the Voice of America to base its output on journalistic
truth; the challenge of presenting civil rights, the Vietnam War,
and Watergate to the world; and the climactic confrontation with
the Soviet Union in the 1980s. This study offers remarkable and new
insights into the Cold War era.
