Bodo Mrozek (ed.)

Sensory warfare in the global Cold War. Partition, propaganda, covert operations

University Park, Pennsylvania 2024

ISBN: 978-0-271-09740-4

The longest political conflict of the twentieth century, the Cold War, was carried out on the human senses—and through them. Largely conducted through nonlethal methods, it was a war of competing cultures, politics, and covert operations. While propaganda reached targets through vision and hearing, sensory warfare also exploited taste, touch, smell, and pain. This volume is the first to explore the sensory aspect of the Cold War and how this warfare changed contemporary perception of the war.
