Zusammenfassung:The book expands the history of the Cold War to Eastern European emigrants and their networks. The "Assembly of Captive European Nations" was a major organisation for Eastern European emigrants in the US since 1954. The cooperation of exiled politicians from nine countries opened up for them new opportunities for lobbying and publications. This book focuses on Estonian contributions to the ACEN.
