Cultural Exchange & the Cold War: Raising the Iron Curtain. By Yale Richmond. (University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2003. xiv, 249 pp. $35.00, ISBN 0-271-02302-3.)

Offering a perspective that is particularly valuable today, Yale Richmond's Cultural Exchange & the Cold War calls our attention to the crucial role America's "soft power" played in transforming the Soviet Union and ending the recent East-West confrontation. Since its author is a retired Foreign Service officer with years of experience as a cultural affairs counselor in Russia and in Eastern Europe, it is written from the standpoints of both a participant and a specialist in the field. It provides us with an admirable survey, effectively exploiting published documents, memoirs, and interviews from both sides of the Cold War to persuade the reader that cultural exchange was a central causal factor.
