Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“For those confused by the giddy climate of recent Cold War revisionism, Nadel is a sure-footed guide to the cultural politics of the period. In pursuit of its solid claims, Containment Culture makes satisfying connections between far flung domains of American expression.”—Andrew Ross
"In Containment Culture Alan Nadel conducts a cultural critique of postwar literature, film, and popular culture in order to show how the national culture during the cold war worked to contain subversive energies. With its power lying not in abstract formulation, but in the incisive readings of a wide array of works, this book will significantly advance our evolving understanding of cold war and post-cold war U. S. culture."—Pat O’Donnell, Purdue University
"We are just beginning to grasp the extent to which U. S. culture of the past fifty years has been dominated and guided by Cold War paradigms. Containment Culture will add significantly to that growing body of scholarship."— Barbara Foley, Rutgers University
