Published here for the first time in English, this unique collection of articles illustrates how the Soviet media portrayed the U.S. during the Cold War.

Exploring the propaganda struggle that played a significant role in the Cold War, Liberty's Tears includes articles from Soviet periodicals intended for a mass audience of ordinary citizens.

Headnotes and chapter introductions provide extensive context, while the provocative and critical focus on American life will be sure to spark student discussion.
