Book Talk | Cold War Radio
In his new book Cold War Radio, Mark Pomar examines how the United States waged the Cold War through the international broadcasting of Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
Pomar served in senior positions at VOA and RFE/RL from 1982 to 1993. He will analyze the multifaceted role the radios played during the Cold War, ranging from instruments of U.S. Cold War policy to repositories of independent Russian culture, literature, philosophy, religion, and the arts. Turning to today, he will also consider the current war in Ukraine and the challenges society faces in charting a new communications strategy.
