Sommario/riassunto |
|
'The Health of the State' is a cultural history that explores how war writing figured in three phases of modern America's political evolution: Civil War remembrance during the Progressive Era, the culture of World War I and the new internationalism, and World War II's legitimation of Cold War liberalism. |
