Abstract

The danger of the Cold War is at the public agenda again. Economic crisis at the early years of the 21st century had launched the return of Cold War public attitudes. One can find through the media about the starting stage of the Second Cold War. Under capitalism, the politicized media image is replicated like any other commodity — it is important to design a new shell and the stereotyped product will be easier bought and consumed. American social thinkers, who are specialists on US military policy and the anti-war movement, Jeremy Kuzmarov and John Marciano wrote a book that echoes the growing public concern of potential danger in case if new Cold War begins. The book is not about the Cold War itself, but on the American role in it, how it was designed and had been processed by the U.S. elite. The major focus of the book pointed on the Cold War project as a domestic American product constructed for internal consumption at the market of public policy.
