The free world : art and thought in the Cold War
Menand, Louis2021
Books
This is a book about what people thought and said and did because of the fact that, for more than forty years, the United States was at war with the Soviet Union. It is a narrative, not an argument, but it has a premise, which is that the Cold War is the key to understanding the social and cultural history of the West between 1945 and 1989, and it has a point, which is that the great consequence of that history, the consequence everyone in the world is living with today, was the globalization of American culture.
