American Crusade in 1950
Faure, Justine
American Crusade in 1950 - 2002.
67
The Cold War was fought on military, diplomatic, and ideological terrain, but it was also a war of words. For the Americans, it was a fight between Good and Evil, between the free world and the captive one and between democracy and dictatorship. This fight took shape in 1950 over General Eisenhower’s call for a crusade for East-European populations and their "captive nations." This national campaign was a great moment in the rhetoric of the Cold War, clearly pointing to the real American war culture based on religion and morals.
