Drawing on his deep expertise as one of America's foremost Soviet scholars, Stephen F. Cohen argues that mainstream U.S. media and government narratives consistently misrepresented Soviet society, politics, and foreign policy. The book chronicles a series of incisive columns originally written for The Nation, each dissecting a different aspect of the American-Soviet relationship with clarity and intellectual rigour. Cohen's tone is measured yet forceful, challenging readers to confront the gap between Cold War propaganda and lived Soviet realities. An essential text for anyone seeking to understand the ideological battleground of superpower relations, Sovieticus remains a provocative and enduring contribution to Cold War scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888016208091,"sku":"2026200009606-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/135b9d5f-f861-4055-8df8-2f0abe7c5146.png?v=1781752902","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009606-secondhand-sovieticus-american-perceptions-and-soviet-realities","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
