520    "In 1931, the United States and France embarked on a 
       broadcasting partnership built around radio. Over time, 
       the transatlantic sonic alliance came to personify and to 
       shape American-French relations in an era of increased 
       global media production and distribution. Drawing on a 
       broad range of American and French archives, Derek 
       Vaillant joins textual and aural materials with original 
       data analytics and maps to illuminate U.S.-French 
       broadcasting's political and cultural development. 
       Vaillant focuses on the period from 1931 until France 
       dismantled its state media system in 1974. His analysis 
       examines mobile actors, circulating programs, and shifting
       governmental and other institutions shaping international 
       radio's use in times of war and peace. He explores the 
       extraordinary achievements, the miscommunications and 
       failures, and the limits of cooperation between America 
       and France as they shaped a new media environment. 
       Throughout, Vaillant explains how radio's power as an 
       instantaneous mass communications tool produced, 
       legitimized, and circulated various notions of states, 
       cultures, ideologies, and peoples as superior or inferior"

520    "This book is the first comparative history of 20th-
       century U.S.-French radio broadcasting and its 
       consequences for cultural politics and international/
       global communication. As U.S. electronics firms raced into
       Europe, a succession of French governments cautiously 
       participated in U.S.-French broadcast experiments. The 
       first "transatlantics" revealed disparate national visions
       of radio's place in the emerging international/global 
       arena. During World War II, however, and continuing into 
       the Cold War years, U.S.-French broadcasting and 
       statecraft wove tightly together, with tangible 
       consequences for how Americans and the French learned to 
       listen to each other. Radio became a projection space of 
       U.S.-French national identity and difference, shaping 
       culture and politics in an international/global media age.
       This book studies the period from 1931--when live, two-way
       programs first linked Paris and New York--to 1974, when 
       France disassembled its state media system and the curtain
       fell on almost a half century of close and continuing 
       radio association. This book uses extensive research in 
       U.S. and French archives to analyze the work of 
       transnational cooperative enterprises, notably among them 
       an initiative to bring a torrent of French-produced, 
       English-language content onto U.S. airwaves after World 
       War II. It shows how a mobile cohort of U.S. and French 
       nationals and expatriates created radio's transnational/
       global technical structures and aesthetic possibilities, 
       and analyzes how different aesthetic aims and technical 
       systems shaped cultural politics between us. This book 
       brings the history of radio squarely into scholarly 
       conversations about the root formations and tendencies of 
       contemporary global media"--|cProvided by publisher.
