To them, \"militaristic\" defined the authoritarian regimes of Germany and Japan that the nation had defeated in World War II--aggressive, power-hungry countries in which the military possessed power outside civilian authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Much of the popular culture in the decades following World War II reflected and reinforced a more pacifist perception of America. This study explores military images in television, film, and comic books from 1945 to 1970 to understand how popular culture made it possible for a public to embrace more militaristic national security policies yet continue to perceive themselves as deeply anti-militaristic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48684675858667,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":54.84,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780786466504-1.jpg?v=1781637656","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9780786466504","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
