Publisher Synopsis
No one measure won the Cold War - but Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty should be in the first rank of those getting the highest medals. Puddington tells the story with style and grace. - R. James Woolsey, former director, Central Intelligence Agency; ""A compelling chronicle of one crucial battlefront in the Cold War."" - Wall Street Journal; ""A thorough and even-handed account of the role that this surrogate home radio service provided."" - Times Literary Supplement; ""A ground-breaking history of RFE-RL that is both erudite and a delight to read. Should help rescue the radios from the 'memory-hole' to which their detractors are attempting to consign them."" - American Spectator Read more...
