Book Synopsis
Showing how different events from World War II became prominent in American cultural memory while others went forgotten or remain hidden in plain sight, this book moves from war films and historical works to television specials and popular magazines to define the image and influence of World War II.

Trade Review
"This book is wide-ranging, moving beyond American matters and authors. As a postmodernist critical approach, it succeeds in contextualizing American reactions to World War II by going deeper than national boundaries and impersonal narration." - Eric Solomon, American Literature"
