The cultural Cold War between the Soviet Union and the West was without precedent. At the outset of this wide-ranging historical survey, David Caute establishes the nature of the extraordinary cultural competition set up post-1945 between Moscow, New York, London and Paris, with the most intimate frontier war staged in the city of Berlin. Using sources in four languages, the author explores the cultural Cold War as it rapidly penetrated theatre, film, classical music, popular music, ballet, painting and sculpture, as well as propaganda by exhibition.

About THE THREE SILLIES, Steven Kellogg says, "This is a story that mischievously illuminates human pomposity and folly. In both literature and life, a dash of humor provides perspective and delight. It was a pleasure to retell and illustrate this bizarre and insightful tale with its welcome invitation to laughter." Steven Kellogg lives in Essex, New York, and Sandy Hook, Connecticut.

From Publishers Weekly:

Inspired by a 19th-century fairy tale, this story features a gentleman who sets out to find three sillies even sillier than the family whose daughter he is courting. PW called it "a rollicking farce." Ages 4-8.
