    III. Fazit, Rezeption und Ausblick – Larry Burrows zwischen Propagan- da und kritischer Kriegsfotografie 1. Der Vietnamkrieg anhand von Larry Burrows’ Fotogra- fien in Life Die Berichterstattung über den Vietnamkrieg wuchs merklich mit zunehmender Entsendung US-amerikanischer Berater nach Vietnam 1962, erlebte einen Höhe- punkt 1965 und 1966 und hielt das Niveau bis zur Einstellung des Magazins 1972. Während dieser elf Jahre publizierte Life die Fotografien von zahlreichen festangestellten Fotografen. Einige wurden mit Zeitverträgen beauftragt und Life kaufte Fotografien von freien Fotografen wie von Foto- und Nachrichtenagen- turen, wie beispielsweise einige Bilder von Horst Faas und Tim Page,875 und ver- öffentlichte über 1200 Bilder aus der Kriegszone.876 Die meisten angestellten Fo- tografen berichteten nur für kurze Zeit für Life aus Vietnam wie John Dominis, Paul Schutzer,877 Terry Spencer, John Loengard,878 Co Rentmeester,879 Richard 875 Wie beispielsweise von Faas: Faas 2.7.1965 – New Fury in Vietnam.

  • Reproduced from the Making of Southeast Asia
    “This book is a landmark in the process it describes. Southeast Asia’s ‘quest for identity’; its imagining of a common destiny, has found a worthy chronicler and analyst in Amitav Acharya.” Anthony Reid Emeritus Professor, Australian National University “extremely insightful, timely, and instructive” Harvard Asia Quarterly “… this is a thought-provoking book, loaded with valuable observations and insights. It also provides a needed corrective to orientalist perspective and to the sometimes tunnel vision of international relations scholars. It is highly recommended, and should be added to the reading lists of every Southeast Asia international relations course.” Contemporary Southeast Asia “The book succeeds on a number of levels. For one thing, it pays close attention to the notion of ‘region’ rather than simply examining the various individual parts that constitute the area we now regard as Southeast Asia. In doing so it stakes out new ground not only in theoretical terms but practical ones as well. Moreover, because the development of a regional identity has been consumed with efforts to create a unity amongst its members, the charting of its successes, its failures, its hopes and prospects is a worthwhile task in itself. The author is not simply content to lay out the history of these in analytical fashion but rather seeks to go beyond in assessing the way in which regionalism has affected how they see themselves in terms of regional identity.” International Affairs “… an excellent and compelling historical overview of regional relations

  • Published at a Time When the U.S. Government's Public Diplomacy Is In
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-14283-0 - The Cold War and the United States Information Agency: American Propaganda and Public Diplomacy, 1945–1989 Nicholas J. Cull Frontmatter More information THE COLD WAR AND THE UNITED STATES INFORMATION AGENCY Published at a time when the U.S. government’s public diplomacy is in crisis, this book provides an exhaustive account of how it used to be done. The United States Information Agency was created, in 1953, to “tell America’s story to the world” and, by engaging with the world through international information, broadcasting, culture, and exchange programs, became an essential element of American foreign policy during the Cold War. Based on newly declassified archives and more than 100 interviews with veterans of public diplomacy, from the Truman administration to the fall of the Berlin Wall, Nicholas J. Cull relates both the achievements and the endemic flaws of American public diplomacy in this period. Major topics include the process by which the Truman and Eisenhower administrations built a massive overseas propaganda operation; the struggle of the Voice of America to base its output on journalistic truth; the challenge of presenting civil rights, the Vietnam War, and Watergate to the world; and the climactic confrontation with the Soviet Union in the 1980s. This study offers remarkable and new insights into the Cold War era. Nicholas J. Cull is professor of public diplomacy at the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Southern California. He is the author of Selling War: The British Propaganda Campaign against American “Neutrality” in World War II and the co-editor (with David Culbert and David Welch) of Propaganda and Mass Persuasion: A Historical Encyclopedia, 1500 to the Present.
