Summary:

"All the Views Fit to Print is a comprehensive, century-long study of
the "changing images" of the United States in Pravda political
cartoons, appearing from the newspaper's founding (1912) through its
final days as the official news organ of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union (1991). Based on quantitative as well as qualitative
content analysis of Pravda's editorial caricatures, the book provides
a lively study of the newspaper's agitational and propaganda mission
to define and reflect the "American way of life" for its Soviet
readers. This book is illustrated with nearly one hundred political
caricatures, as well as eleven tables depicting cartoon themes and
trends over nearly a century of anti-American
agitational-propaganda."--BOOK JACKET.
