Synopsis

By the 1970s, World War II had all but disappeared from US popular culture, but in the mid-eighties it returned with a vengeance. Today, remembrance of World War II is ubiquitous across US media and politics, demonstrating its centrality to American collective identity. In this book, Barbara A. Biesecker explores this shift, revealing how “the Good War” was retooled to restore social equilibrium to the United States.
