Book and jacket are new. Black and white photographs in the text. Based on first-hand interviews and documents from the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party, Michael Nelson shows that Western radio--principally, the British Broadcasting Corporation, Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, and the Voice of America--were unrivalled forces in the fight against communism and the fall of the Iron Curtain. These radio programs introduced a forbidden, exciting culture to millions of eager listeners. Pop music, talk shows, news, and information about consumer goods all relayed a message of the good life, subtly undermining the values of the communist regimes. Western radio actively connected listeners with the cultures of Europe and North America. War of the Black Heavens describes an unheralded story of success and adds a new interpretation that helps us understand some of the most momentous political events of this century.
