No Return for U-2 presents a Cold War-era political exposé, issued by the Foreign Languages Publishing House in Moscow in 1960, that argues the Soviet perspective on the infamous U-2 incident. The text documents the unauthorized incursion of American reconnaissance aircraft into Soviet airspace, culminating in the downing of pilot Francis Gary Powers and the diplomatic fallout that followed. It asserts the violation of international law and sovereignty, framing the event as emblematic of aggressive U.S. espionage tactics during a period of heightened geopolitical tension. The publication underscores Soviet claims of moral and legal superiority, using the incident to indict Western intelligence operations and justify defensive countermeasures. As a piece of Cold War propaganda, it illustrates the ideological battle between superpowers and the strategic narratives each side deployed to sway global opinion.
