This dazzling little book explores the role of US media in foreign policy, not only at the present moment, but with an eye to the future. Written by a veteran Hollywood film executive and an internationally known columnist in foreign affairs. The book explains how American movies, TV shows, and pop music provide the images of America to the rest of the world, and the rest of the world to Americans. It also includes discussions of the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed Danish daily newspapers, Tibetan monks censored out of Chinese TV news reports only to show up on You Tube, and the Vatican's assault on the Da Vinci Code movie. The authors argue that Hollywood is a key player in the 'deep coalition' required to support a 'smart power' foreign policy and build a global cultural infrastructure that will make the world safe for interdependence.

"Gardels and Medavoy, two of California's most creative public intellectuals, bring a West Coast perspective to the role of culture in foreign policy. Gardels and Medavoy offer interesting observations on these trends".
"Foreign Affairs Magazine"

"American Idol After Iraq will inspire debates the country needs to have regarding the power of pop culture".
"Pajamas Media"

"Short and a delight to read, focusing, not surprisingly, on the power of the West Coast to project American soft-power almost everywhere through the pervasive and alluring imagery of mass entertainment".
"Providence Journal"
