Media and the Cold War in the 1980s: Between Star Wars and Glasnost: summary, description and annotation

If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The Cold War was a media phenomenon. It was a daily cultural political struggle for the hearts and minds of ordinary peopleand for government leaders, a struggle to undermine their enemies ability to control the domestic public sphere. This collection examines how this struggle played out on screen, radio, and in print from the late 1970s through the early 1990s, a time when breaking news stories such as Ronald Reagans Star Wars program and Mikhail Gorbachevs policy of glasnost captured the worlds attention. Ranging from the United States to the Soviet Union and China, these essays cover photojournalism on both sides of the Iron Curtain, Polish punk, Norwegian film, Soviet magazines, and more, concluding with a contribution from Stuart Franklin, one of the creators of the iconic Tank Man image during the Tiananmen Square protests. By investigating an array of media actors and networks, as well as narrative and visual frames on a local and transnational level, this volume lays the groundwork for writing media into the history of the late Cold War.
