At the height of the Cold War, the U.S. State Department unleashed an unexpected tool in its battle against Communism: jazz. From 1956 through the late 1970s, America dispatched its finest jazz musicians to win the hearts and minds of the Third World and to counter perceptions of American racism. Von Eschen tells this fascinating story.
