Abstract

This book explores a widely lived yet little remembered facet of America's cultural and political history: the Cold War as experienced at the grassroots level. Here, Fried traces the cresting of modern patriotic observance during World War II and then shows how patriotic and civic activists afterwards labored to recreate a remembered unity and commitment in the tension-filled Cold War era. A variety of national and local entities mounted campaigns ""to sell America to the Americans"" through ""rededication"" celebrations like Know Your America Week and Freedom Week.

Abstract

In The Long March, Roger Kimball, the author of Tenured Radicals, shows how the ""cultural revolution"" of the 1960s and '70s took hold in America, lodging in our hearts and minds, and affecting our innermost assumptions about what counts as the good life. Kimball believes that the counterculture transformed high culture as well as our everyday life in terms of attitudes toward self and country, sex and drugs, and manners and morality. Believing that this dramatic change ""cannot be understood apart from the seductive personalities who articulated its goals,"" he intersperses his argument with
