Drawing on personal accounts and documents, historian Reisch reveals hitherto unknown details about programs funded by the CIA to distribute books to key intellectuals and professionals, libraries, research institutes, cultural organizations, and universities in six countries: Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, and the Soviet Union. His study focuses on the roles of two key figures who carried out the project, and makes an attempt to gauge the effectiveness of the programs. The book contains b&w and color photos, documents, and letters. It is distributed in the US by Books International. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
