During the Cold War, radio broadcasting played an important role in the ideological confrontation between East and West. As archival documents gathered in this volume reveal, radio broadcasting was among the most pressing concerns of contemporary information agencies. These broadcasts could penetrate the Iron Curtain and directly address the ‘enemy’. Radio was equally important in keeping sustained levels of support among the home public and the public of friendly nations. In the early Cold War in particular, listeners in the West had to be persuaded of the need for higher defence spending levels and a policy of containment. Later, even if other media – and in particular television – had become more important, radio continued to be used widely. The chapters gathered here investigate both the institutional history of the radio broadcasting corporations in the East and in the West, and their relationship with other propaganda agencies of the time. They examine the ‘off-air’ politics of radio broadcasting, from the choice of theme to the selection of speakers, singers and music pieces. The key issue tackled by contributors is the problem of measuring the impact of, and qualifying the success of, information policies and propaganda programmes produced during the Cultural Cold War. This book was originally published as a special issue of Cold War History.

The cocreator of the Washington Post’s “Made by History” blog reveals how the rise of conservative talk radio gave us a Republican Party incapable of governing and paved the way for Donald Trump. America’s long road to the Trump presidency began on August 1, 1988, when, desperate for content to save AM radio, top media executives stumbled on a new format that would turn the political world upside down. They little imagined that in the coming years their brainchild would polarize the country and make it nearly impossible to govern. Rush Limbaugh, an enormously talented former disc jockey—opinionated, brash, and unapologetically conservative—pioneered a pathbreaking infotainment program that captured the hearts of an audience no media executive knew existed. Limbaugh’s listeners yearned for a champion to punch back against those maligning their values. Within a decade, this format would grow from fifty-nine stations to over one thousand, keeping millions of Americans company as they commuted, worked, and shouted back at their radios. The concept pioneered by Limbaugh was quickly copied by cable news and digital media. Radio hosts form a deep bond with their audience, which gives them enormous political power. Unlike elected representatives, however, they must entertain their audience or watch their ratings fall. Talk radio boosted the Republican agenda in the 1990s, but two decades later, escalation in the battle for the airwaves pushed hosts toward ever more conservative, outrageous, and hyperbolic content. Donald Trump borrowed conservative radio hosts’ playbook and gave Republican base voters the kind of pugnacious candidate they had been demanding for decades. By 2016, a political force no one intended to create had completely transformed American politics.

In the annals of American sports, few events have captured the nation's imagination like the first-ever national championship high school football game. On October 6, 2001, two titans of the gridiron, Concord De La Salle and Long Beach Poly, collided in a clash that transcended the boundaries of the sport. This epic showdown between two undefeated teams from vastly different backgrounds ignited a rivalry that would forever leave its mark on the landscape of high school football. Concord De La Salle, a private Catholic school from the affluent suburbs of Northern California, had amassed an astonishing nine-year, 113-game winning streak, the longest in the history of any sport. Led by the legendary coach Bob Ladouceur, the Spartans were known for their meticulous preparation, relentless discipline, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Long Beach Poly, hailing from the gritty streets of Southern California, was a team of underdogs with a chip on their shoulder. Coached by the fiery and charismatic Bruce Rollinson, the Jackrabbits relied on their raw talent, unwavering determination, and unwavering belief in themselves to overcome the odds. The stage was set for a clash of titans, a battle of wills and ideologies. It was more than just a football game; it was a cultural phenomenon that captured the attention of a nation. The eyes of the world were upon these two teams, and they were ready to write their names into the history books. The game lived up to its billing and then some. The intensity was palpable from the opening kickoff to the final whistle. The defenses stood strong, the offenses traded blows, and the lead changed hands several times. With time winding down, the game came down to one final play. The quarterback dropped back to pass, looking for an open receiver. Suddenly, a defender broke through the line and pressured him. The quarterback scrambled to his right, desperately trying to avoid the sack. He spotted a receiver streaking down the sideline and launched the ball towards him. Time seemed to slow down as the ball sailed through the air. The receiver reached out and snagged it just inches from the ground. He broke into a full sprint, racing towards the end zone as the crowd erupted in a frenzy of cheers and jeers. The referee's whistle pierced the air, signaling a touchdown. The game was over. One team celebrated, the other heartbroken. But in that moment, both teams had etched their names into the annals of history. The first-ever national championship high school football game had produced a classic, a game that would be talked about for generations to come. If you like this book, write a review!

The controversy began with a seemingly innocuous private letter, and spiraled into the biggest media event in golf history. The Augusta National membership dispute dominated headlines and watercooler conversation for nearly a year, propelled by twenty-first-century hot-button issues and a pair of perfectly drawn foils in Hootie Johnson and Martha Burk. But a year after Burk's messy Masters week protest, the meaning of the membership controversy remains elusive. In The Battle for Augusta National, Alan Shipnuck -- who reinvented the PGA Tour narrative with the rollicking Bud, Sweat, & Tees -- provides the definitive account of what really happened and why. In this lively, irreverent, ambitious book, Shipnuck chases the story from the chairman's office at Augusta National to the living room of the One Man Klan, along the way bringing to life a vivid cast of characters and revealing subplots aplenty. With meticulous reporting and penetrating insights, Shipnuck provides a nuanced look into the complex and contradictory worlds of Hootie and Martha, who were drawn together like moths to a flame; reveals Augusta National's secret plots to undermine the press and the accompanying turmoil at The New York Times, including an exclusive interview with the Times's disgraced executive editor, Howell Raines; and explores the Southern politics that led to Burk's Masters week banishment, drawing on Senate confirmation hearings and campaign contribution documents to link local politicians and a federal judge to Augusta National. From Tiger Woods to Jack Welch, Sandra Day O'Connor to Bryant Gumbel, Treasury Secretary Snow to Jesse Jackson, the gang's all here in this withering look at a story that never stopped churning. Along the way, many of the membership controversy's mysteries are revealed. How did Augusta National's top-secret membership roll become public? Who was the shadowy protester identified by hoodwinked reporters as Heywood Jablome? Did Burk lie about a vast right-wing conspiracy to undermine her demonstration? All of this and much more can be found in The Battle for Augusta National, a book that captures the passion and absurdity of a great national debate that continues to simmer.
