Total Cold War
Osgood focuses on major campaigns such as Atoms for Peace, People-to-People, and cultural exchange programs. Drawing on recently declassified documents that record U.S. psychological operations in some three dozen countries, he tells how U.S. propaganda agencies presented everyday life in America to the world: its citizens living full, happy lives in a classless society where economic bounty was shared by all. Osgood further investigates the ways in which superpower disarmament negotiations were used as propaganda maneuvers in the battle for international public opinion. He also reexamines the early years of the space race, focusing especially on the challenge to American propagandists posed by the Soviet launch of Sputnik.

Enforcing Civil Rights
A former member of the Civil Rights Division of the US Department of Justice, established in 1957, explains the agency's role in combating institutionalized racism. He discusses political realities, national priorities, the widening of the mandate, weathering political shifts in Washington, conflicts between career civil servants and political appointees, and other aspects. He also analyzes the consequences of its litigation positions and considers whether the structure of enforcement should be changed. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
