Produktinformationen zu „Theaters of War: America's Perceptions of World War II “
In Theaters of War, historian Vincent Casaregola examines the portrayal of WWII in popular culture and how that protrayal has changed over time. In what ways have current politics, events and conflicts affected cultural representations of this epic event of the 20th century? The author answers this question, examining the greatest WWII films, literature, theater and art from times such as the Cold War era, the Vietnam War, the Reagan years, and present day. He shows that these portrayals represent not only how Americans see WWII, but also how they see themselves.
