A WELCOME GUEST IN THE HOUSE (1957, 23:29)
The National Association of Broadcasters sponsored this salute to the power of television and its service to the people in waging and reporting the cold war.
COLD WAR: THE CHALLENGE OF IDEAS - PART 1(1961, 25:35), PART 2 (1961, 3:59)
John Wayne, Edward R. Murrow, Lowell Thomas, Frank McGee, Helen Hayes & more explain the battle of ideas between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. in this U.S. Army Pictorical Center production. A one-of-a-kind film of the sort not to be seen recreated in our day.
COMMUNISM (1952, 10:18)
Another one of the raving agit-prop pieces Coronet Instructional Films was famous for, this one crystalizing in time the emotions and attitudes of cold-warring America at one its coldest moments.
DON'T BE A SUCKER (1947, 17:21)
An extraordinary film produced by the U.S. War Department on the eve of the Cold War urging Americans not to give into the kind of fanaticism and hate-mongering at home that the country fought to defeat abroad during the Second World War.
PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS IN SUPPORT OF INTERNATIONAL DEFENSE AND DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS - PART 1 (1968, 12:54), PART 2 (1968, 12:24)
Ever wonder just what America meant when it said it was sending "advisors" to foreign lands? In many cases, it means just what this film undertakes to show - how psychological operations can used to help a government win the hearts and minds of its people. You can guess where the U. S. Army Materiel Command places "Hostland"!
RED CHINESE BATTLE PLAN (1964, 25:15)
The U.S. Navy sponsored & produced this remarkable survey of the military and political history of the Chinese Communist revolution from 1921 to 1964. The "yellow peril" is here given bombastic propaganda treatment at a time when the U.S. was most immediately concerned with the prosecution of the war raging in China's neighboring country, Vietnam. The film goes some length in establishing a strong link between the two countries, which was accurate at the time though, as history has seen, only to a degree, and a rapidly eroding one at that.

A time capsule containing what the National Education Association sought to teach the children of America about their responsibilities as good and free citizens of a democratic republic.
THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF CITIZENSHIP (1955, 10:29)
