''A wholly original, well-researched, and superbly written account of the development of global television set within the intertwined contexts of American foreign policy, psychological warfare, and information diplomacy. Stimulating and enjoyable.'' John T.

The result provides serious food for thought in considering current U.S. policy about international media and goodwill building.'' John Durham Peters, author of Courting the Abyss: Free Speech and the Liberal Tradition
