The USIA placed propaganda in the Swedish press, radio, and television as well as schools and universities and established connections to labour leaders, government officials, and journalists. The book also details how the U.S. military financed research at Swedish universities. Nilsson shows how Swedish journalists, scientists, and government officials assisted the USIA in its propaganda efforts --- id est, co-produced U.S. hegemony in Sweden. The book highlights both the width and the limits of USIA’s propaganda and also relates this theme to Swedish security policy and the secret military cooperation between Sweden and the United States.New Perspectives on the Cold War1.Cold WarDiplomatic historyPropaganda, AmericanSwedenHistory20th centuryUnited StatesRelationsSwedenSwedenRelationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relations1953-1961United StatesForeign relations1961-1963United StatesForeign relations1963-1969Electronic books.Cold WarDiplomatic history.Propaganda, AmericanHistory327.730485Nilsson Mikael1976-877402MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910136531703321The battle for hearts and minds in the high north1959221UNINA
