Description

A chronicle of the high heels and convertibles campaign the U.S. used in an attempt to bring down communism. In the late 1950s, American policymakers worked to destabilize Soviet and East European communist regimes by psychological warfare and cultural infiltration that showed people under communism "the good life" they could live in a Western democracy.
