Qui mène la danse? la CIA et la guerre froide culturelle / Who’s Calling the Shots? The CIA and the Cultural Cold War (Book) by Frances Stonor Saunders. 2003. 512 pages. Very Good Condition, Rare! Delivery Time 3 Weeks – French version.
1947: Europe is recovering from the cataclysm of World War II; the Cold War can begin.
Who’s Calling the Shots? reveals a little-known aspect of the fierce struggle for influence between the United States and the Soviet Union in the field of American and European cultural life. Frances Stonor Saunders uncovers the secret propaganda program developed by the CIA, which turned culture into a real war machine to combat the Soviet bloc and its thurifers.
Considerable human and financial resources were used to use literature, music, art and the press as preferred ideological weapons in favor of the United States. The manipulations were more or less licit, more or less apparent from Raymond Aron to Jackson Pollock, via Arthur Koestler, Ignazio Silone and Igor Stravinsky, many personalities from the literary and artistic world were generously paid, used by the American secret services, either directly by case officers, or through foundations.
This vast investigation traces the history of the intellectual elite in Europe and the United States through a shadow theater populated by brilliant characters, fine manipulators and shameless spies. This book, which has already caused a lot of ink to flow in England, Spain and Germany, is an exceptional document on the history of the Cold War.
