Radio Free Europe was first published in 1958. Minnesota Archive
Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books
once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the
original University of Minnesota Press editions. What is radio Free
Europe? Where does it broadcast? Who runs it? What are its
purposes? Although thousands of Americans are familiar with Radio
Free Europe (many have contributed to its support through the
Crusade for Freedom campaigns), few know enough about its
background to answer these and similar questions. In this book a
political scientist with first-hand knowledge gives a detailed
account of the organization and development of this unique
propaganda enterprise. Radio Free Europe was established as a
private broadcasting project in 1949 by the Free Europe Committee,
headed by Joseph C. Grew, as part of the Committee's program of
broad, long-range assistance to democratic exiles from totalitarian
countries. The operational headquarters are located at Munich, and
the broadcasts are directed to the people of five satellite
countries: Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, and Poland.
Professor Holt tells how Radio Free Europe was established,
outlines its basic policies and objectives, describes its
organization, personnel, programming, and services, discusses
transmission problems, and examines the effectiveness of the
propaganda. He describes in detail the role of RFE in connection
with the uprisings in Poland and Hungary and analyzes the charges
that RFE stimulated the Hungarian revolt.
