Crusade Report 1951

(1951 - Crusade For Freedom, 10 minutes) This film was a progress report of the Crusade for Freedom, an organization that was initially set up to continue the private fundraising campaign, started by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, to use radio transmitters to broadcast American propaganda to the freedom-hungry listeners in communist countries, in much the same manner as Radio Free Europe would come to do in subsequent decades. Later, it was revealed that the Crusade for Freedom was actually a clandestine C.I.A. front that funneled money into a variety of projects that were designed to destabilize pro-communist regimes.
