About this book
Barriers Down reveals the unexpected origins of freedom of information in political, economic, and cultural battles in the postwar period. Diana Lemberg traces how the United States shaped media around the world under the banner of the “free flow of information,” showing how the push for global media access acted as a vehicle for American power.

Reviews
David Ekbladh, Tufts University:
Lemberg offers us an innovative discussion of how the US actively sought to remove obstacles to global media after 1945. Barriers Down ties the deeply political question of media openness to key issues during the postwar period: international development, the Cold War, national sovereignty, decolonization, and the collapse of empire. It provides a valuable and fresh perspective on central topics in international affairs.
