The Kennedy Crises: The Press, the Presidency, and Foreign Policy
(This analysis of the Kennedy administration's relationshi...)
This analysis of the Kennedy administration's relationship with the press during the Laotian, Berlin, Cuban missile, and Vietnam crises of 1961-63 suggests that press coverage and Kennedy's influence on the press were far more varied than scholars have supposed. Focusing on press coverage of government officials, foreign leaders, domestic politicians, and interest groups, the study combines quantitative analysis with previously untapped sources in the Kennedy Library. Originally published in 1984. A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.

In this analysis of the years of greatest American friendship with the Soviet Union, Levering comes to two conclusions. First, cosmopolitan, educated Americans of all classes were much more likely to change their negative attitudes of 1939 to positive ones by 1943 than were the provincial and poorly educated. Second, governmental leaders and the media, whether conservative or liberal, did not prepare the public for the probable realities of postwar international politics. Originally published in 1976.
