• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book advances an understanding of cultural diplomacy that examines a single area of government and private sector partnership, and what became in the mid-twentieth century the most prominent manifestation of this alliance—the cultural exhibitions sent abroad to "tell America’s story" with the goal of "winning hearts and minds."
