| Summary: | Following Christoper Lasch's early study, accounts of the "cultural cold war" have become largely synonymous with the activities of the Congress for Cultural Freedom. The major accounts of the Congress have drawn on a comparatively narrow range of archive sources, personal papers, memoirs, & interviews. Recent studies of Cold War broadcasting have broadened the scope of the "cultural" & made extensive use of previously inaccessible archive material in Europe, North America, & the former Soviet Union. This article continues the process of broadening our understanding of the cultural dimensions of the Cold War by focusing on the publishers Secker & Warburg & highlighting, more generally, the opportunities that publishers' archives afford for opening up new areas of investigation & research on the Cold War. Adapted from the source document. |
