It examines how a wide range of actors - including special interest groups and U.S. and West German policymakers - sought to deploy representations of Germany to influence public opinion and achieve their domestic and foreign policy objectives. The book analyzes cultural artifacts such as popular books, films, and television shows to reveal how narratives about the Third Reich and Cold War Germany were manufactured, contested, and co-opted as rival viewpoints competed for legitimacy.Studies in conflict, diplomacy, and peace.Cold WarUnited StatesForeign relationsGermanyGermanyForeign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relations1945-1989GermanyForeign relations1945-GermanyForeign public opinion, AmericanCold War.327.7304309/045Etheridge Brian Craig1973-1476422MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797823103321Enemies to allies3691071UNINA
