The Kitchen Debate and Cold War Consumer Politics - A Brief History with Documents (Paperback)

This innovative treatment of the Kitchen Debate reveals the event not only as a symbol of U.S. -Soviet military and diplomatic rivalry but as a battle over living standards that profoundly shaped the economic, social, and cultural contours of the Cold War era. The introduction situates the Debate in a survey of the Cold War, and an unprecedented collection of primary-source selections--including Soviet accounts never before translated for an English-speaking audience--connects the Debate to consumer society, gender ideologies, and geopolitics. Document headnotes, a chronology, questions to consider, and a bibliography enhance students' understanding of this defining moment of the Cold War.
