Honestly I was so excited to learn about this book's existence, since I thought it would be a deep dive into the *rhetoric* of US propaganda during the Cold War, especially in the Third World. Instead, yeah, I just ended up disappointed because it's really sort of a documentation of the various people and institutions who "steered" US artists and writers towards (e.g.) performing in Europe to show the dynamism and creativity that capitalism brings about... So, it's interesting, just not what I was looking for (like, I already knew that they set up all these funds and conferences and institutes, so now I want to dive into *what* the discussions and texts and stuff that they produced were like)
