- Summary:
- Much has been written about Cold War Hollywood and the Soviet Union' s cinematic campaign against the West. This book fills a significant gap in the international story by uncovering British cinema' s contribution to Cold War propaganda and its attempt to create a consensus among British audiences on Cold War issues. It examines Cold War issues, as refracted through British films and Hollywood movies released in Britain, and tells how the British public received this " war propaganda."
