Drawing on thousands of historical documents from Polish and Dutch archives, this book explores Cold War cultural exchange between so-called âsmaller powersâ of this global conflict, which thus far has been predominately explored from the perspective of the two superpowers or more pivotal countries.

By looking at how cultural, artistic and scholarly relations were developed between Poland and the Netherlands, MichaÅ Wenderski sheds new light on the history of the Cultural Cold War that was not always orchestrated solely by its main players. Less pivotal states â" for example, Poland and the Netherlands â" likewise intentionally created their international cultural policies and shaped their cultural exchange with countries from the other side of the Iron Curtain. This study reconstructs these policies and identifies the varying factors that influenced them â" both official and less formal.

The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, history of the Cold War, post-war European history, international cultural relations, Dutch studies and Polish studies.
