Yet, just as the beaches of Normandy and the jungles of Vietnam worked profound changes on conflict participants, the Korean Peninsula chipped away at the beliefs, physical and mental well-being, and fortitude of Americans completing wartime tours of duty there. Upon returning home, Korean War veterans struggled with home front attitudes toward the war, faced employment and family dilemmas, and wrestled with readjustment. Not unlike other wars, Korea proved a formative and defining influence on the men and women stationed in theater, on their loved ones, and in some measure on American culture. In the Shadow of the Greatest Generation not only gives voice to those Americans who served in the ?forgotten war? but chronicles the larger personal and collective consequences of waging war the American way. 606 $aVeterans$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSoldiers$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aKorean War, 1950-1953$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aVeterans$xHistory 615 0$aSoldiers$xHistory 615 0$aKorean War, 1950-1953 676 $a951.904240973 700 $aPash$b Melinda L.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01561161 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785966903321 996 $aIn the Shadow of the Greatest Generation$93827661 997 $aUNINA
