Starting from this point, Kinney's book considers the concept of 'friendly fire' from multiple vantage points, and portrays the Vietnam age as a crucible where America's cohesive image of itself shattered - pitting soldiers against superiors, doves against hawks, feminism against patriarchy, racial fear against racial tolerance. Through the use of extensive evidence from the film and popular fiction of Vietnam (e.g Kovic's Born on the Fourth of July, Didion's Democracy, O'Brien's Going After Cacciato, Rabe's Sticks and Stones and Streamers), Kinney draws a powerful picture of a nation politically, culturally, and socially divided, and a war that has been memorialized as a contested site for art, media, politics, and ideology. 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xLiterature and the war 606 $aNational characteristics, American, in literature 606 $aWar stories, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWar poetry, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGroup identity in literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xLiterature and the war. 615 0$aNational characteristics, American, in literature. 615 0$aWar stories, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWar poetry, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGroup identity in literature. 676 $a810.9/358 700 $aKinney$b Katherine$f1959-$01502201 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784662303321 996 $aFriendly fire$93729820 997 $aUNINA
