Product Information
In Cold War historiography, the 1960s are often described as a decade of mounting diplomatic tensions and international social unrest. At the same time, they were a period of global media revolution: communication satellites compressed time and space, television spread around the world, and images circulated through print media in expanding ways. Examining how U.S. policymakers exploited these changes, this book offers groundbreaking international research into the visual media battles that shaped America's Cold War from West Germany and India to Tanzania and Argentina.

Reviews
"I very much enjoyed reading this book-I found it compelling, original in approach, and steeped in fascinating historical detail . . . [it] places the symbolic and emotional power of images at the heart of a study into U.S. public diplomacy, but also internationalizes a visual history which takes the spotlight away from the more familiar American domestic media." · Katy Parry, University of Leeds, "I very much enjoyed reading this book-I found it compelling, original in approach, and steeped in fascinating historical detail. It places the symbolic and emotional power of images at the heart of a study into U.S. public diplomacy, but also internationalizes a visual history which takes the spotlight away from the more familiar American domestic media." Katy Parry, University of Leeds, "[This study] provides a cogent history of how US policymakers came to understand the importance of the image to building and consolidating post-Second World War global rule. Offering what he terms 'a sensory history of American empire', Kunkel documents how pictures worked to facilitate American empire building - and then, by the late 1960s, how pictures helped to undermine that very process."
