Cold War Radio: The Dangerous History of American Broadcasting in Europe, 1950-1989
Four stars because this book fills a void desperately needed: a contemporary collection addressing media history and theory, in dialogue with each other -- BUT it's pretty uneven. Some selections are really strong and would great on their own for an undergrad or grad class, but others are very dense and don't work without a good familiarity with the author or contemporary media theories and debates. I admire the breadth of inclusions but wish the book either had more editorial summaries / backgrounds / contextualizations (i.e., more like a textbook) or that the focus had been narrower and more unified. I came close to assigning this for an undergrad class but, after reading it am glad I didn't (although I appreciate it a lot personally.)
