Much has been written about cold war Hollywood and the Soviet Union's cinematic campaign against the West. This book fills a significant gap in the international story by uncovering British cinema's contribution to cold war propaganda and its attempt to create a consensus among British audiences on cold war issues. The book includes tales of conveniently forgotten films like High Treason, directed by Roy Boulting, which put a British McCarthyism on celluloid; Little Red Monkey, in which the Chinese communist threat first emerged; and the fascinatingly ambiguous The Man Between, Carol Reed's follow-up to The Third Man, set in a divided Berlin. It examines cold war issues, as refracted through British films and Hollywood movies released in Britain, and tells how the British public received this ""war propaganda.""

TONY SHAW is Reader in International History at the University of Hertfordshire. His publications include Eden, Suez and the Mass Media: Propaganda and Persuasion during the Suez Crisis (I.B.Tauris). He is currently working on two projects: an account of Hollywood's propaganda role during the Cold War, and a history of British government propaganda during the Cold War.
