Radio Free Europe's Crusade for Freedom: Rallying Americans Behind Cold War Broadcasting, 1950-1960 Paperback - 2010

by Richard H. Cummings


From the publisher

From 1950 to 1960, millions of Americans participated in Radio Free Europe's Crusade for Freedom. They signed Freedom Scrolls and Freedom Grams, attended Crusader meetings, marched in parades, launched leaflet-carrying balloons, and donated Truth Dollars in support of the American effort to broadcast news and other programming to the peoples of communist-governed European countries. The Crusade for Freedom proved to be a powerful tool of the state-private network's anti-communist agenda. This book takes an in-depth look at the Crusade for Freedom, revealing how its unmatched pageantry of patriotism led to the creation of a dynamic movement involving not only the government but also private industry, mass media, academia, religious leaders, and average Americans.

Description:
McFarland, 2010-10-04. paperback. Fair/None as issued. 6x0x9. COVER DAMAGE: Front cover has a tape-repaired 6" cut (looks like box cutter damage.) Bend to top front cover corner and first pages prior to Preface. Three pages have limited yellow highlighting; one of those pages is corner creased and the corner is completely colored in highlighter. Otherwise text appears unmarked. Binding is tight and square; no creases to spine. Still a good reading copy for personal use. Books that sell for $9 or more ship in a box; under $9 in a bubble mailer. Expedited and international orders may ship in a flat rate envelope rather than a box due to cost constraints. All US-addressed items ship with complimentary delivery confirmation.
