520    Scientists like to proclaim that science knows no borders.
       Scientific researchers follow the evidence where it leads,
       their conclusions free of prejudice or ideology. But is 
       that really the case? In Freedom's Laboratory, Audra J. 
       Wolfe shows how these ideas were tested to their limits in
       the high-stakes propaganda battles of the Cold War. Wolfe 
       examines the role that scientists, in concert with 
       administrators and policymakers, played in American 
       cultural diplomacy after World War II. During this period,
       the engines of US propaganda promoted a vision of science 
       that highlighted empiricism, objectivity, a commitment to 
       pure research, and internationalism. Working (both overtly
       and covertly, wittingly and unwittingly) with governmental
       and private organizations, scientists attempted to decide 
       what, exactly, they meant when they referred to 
       "scientific freedom" or the "US ideology." More frequently,
       however, they defined American science merely as the 
       opposite of Communist science. Uncovering many startling 
       episodes of the close relationship between the US 
       government and private scientific groups, Freedom's 
       Laboratory is the first work to explore science's link to 
       US propaganda and psychological warfare campaigns during 
       the Cold War. Closing in the present day with a discussion
       of the recent March for Science and the prospects for 
       science and science diplomacy in the Trump era, the book 
       demonstrates the continued hold of Cold War thinking on 
       ideas about science and politics in the United States.
