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. 410 0$aNew Perspectives on the Cold War$v1. 606 $aCold War$xDiplomatic history 606 $aPropaganda, American$zSweden$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zSweden 607 $aSweden$xRelations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1953-1961 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1961-1963 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1963-1969 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCold War$xDiplomatic history. 615 0$aPropaganda, American$xHistory 676 $a327.730485 700 $aNilsson$b Mikael$f1976-$0877402 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136531703321 996 $aThe battle for hearts and minds in the high north$91959221 997 $aUNINA
