||1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.| Deftly weaves a thread of McCarthyism through the fabric of early television|By David Gaj|This is an insightful and elegantly-written book about a period of time in American history where popular myth often trumps actual events. The author sets the record straight in a painstakingly-researched work, bolstered by expert prose which is extremely entertaining in its own right, gr| |Invigorating and wide-ranging scholarship... The heart of Cold War, Cool Medium is a lively and compelling retelling of the effect of McCarthyism on television. (Cineaste)

[A] seriously intelligent history. (Library Journal)

Conventional wisdom holds that television was a co-conspirator in the repressions of Cold War America, that it was a facilitator to the blacklist and handmaiden to McCarthyism. But Thomas Doherty argues that, through the influence of television, America actually became a more open and tolerant place. Although many books have been written about this period, Cold War, Cool Medium is the only one to examine it through the lens of television programming.
