More about the book

The book delves into the influential radio broadcasts and television documentaries by West German journalist Peter von Zahn in the 1950s, exploring his transformation from a soldier with elitist views to a critical commentator on American society. It highlights his assessments of McCarthyism, civil rights, and American culture, situating his work within the context of postwar West German debates about democracy, shaped by the country's experiences with the Weimar Republic and Nazism. Zahn's insights continue to resonate in contemporary discussions.
