摘要註:	"2003 Outstanding Academic Title, Choice" ""An uncommonly well balanced account of the political biases of American movies... A fine read for the generalist yet a scholarly achievement."---Choice" ""You cannot but be seduced and even sometimes bedazzled by Bodnar's clear, well-informed and impartial analysis."---Cercles" ""Bodnar provides a useful provocation. He asks us to think imaginatively about the subtle and complex ways movies communicate ideas and attitudes."---Journal of AmericanHistory" ""Open minded and even handed, he appreciates the nuances and mixed messages of Hollywood cinema."---American Historical Review" "The"Good War" in American Memory dispels the long-held myth that Americans forged an agreement on why they had to fight in World War II. John Bodnar's sociocultural examination of the vast public debate that took place in the United States over the war's meaning reveals that the idea of the "good war" was highly contested." "Bodnar's comprehensive study of the disagreements that marked the American remembrance of World War II in the six decades following its end draws on an array of sources: fiction and nonfiction, movies, theater, and public monuments. He identifies alternative strands of memory---tragic and brutal versus heroic andvirtuous---and reconstructs controversies involving veterans, minorities, and memorials. In building this narrative, Bodnar shows how the idealism of President Franklin Roosevelt's Four Freedoms was lost in the public commemoration of World War II, how the war's memory beclme intertwined in the larger discussion over American national identity, and howit only clme to be known as the "good war" many years after its conclusion."--BOOK JACKET
