The Punitive Turn in American Life
In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson insisted that "the policeman is the frontline soldier in our war against crime," and police forces, arms makers, policy makers, and crime experts heeded this call to arms, bringing weapons and practices from the arena of war back home. The Punitive Turn in American Life offers a political and cultural history of the ways in which punishment and surveillance have moved to the center of American life and become imb…
Implacable Foes
The big war still yields big books, despite academic presses' preference for short ones. Here is another, by the veteran historians Waldo Heinrichs and Marc Gallicchio. In its density, meticulous documentation, evenhanded judgment, and precise, sober prose, it resembles the many official United States histories of World War II (not a bad standard) on which it draws, along with abundant other secondary and primary sources. Its encyclopedic approac…
Military Service and American Democracy
Military Service and American Democracy is about policies governing enlistment, recruitment, conscription, and stateside service in the U.S. armed forces. The analysis does not extend to service abroad in combat and does little to engage the often-ugly public dramas that swirled around integration of the armed forces, the swelling ranks of women in the military, and policy on gay and lesbian service personnel. His focus is institutional history, …
Toward an Empire of Justice
Katherine Unterman offers another story of rising American imperial ambitions and actions, in this case forged in response to a late nineteenth-century “crisis of international fugitives”—initially, often fleeing to Canada—in an age of increased and speedier travel (4). (Unterman leaves unclear how much of a crisis there really was, as opposed to a perception of one and a manipulation of that perception by financial chieftains eager to recover pu…
Colloquy
Mark Bradley: Queer isn’t a word you see much in the pages of Diplomatic History or the program for SHAFR’s annual conference. Indeed, a quick lexical check of article titles since the journal began publication in 1977 for “gay,” “homosexual,” “lesbian,” “transgender,” and “queer” brings up absolutely nothing (bracketing the single title reference to the Enola Gay ). You may not be surprised. You should be. Queer history and queer studies occupy …
The Vietnam War
Dead or alive
After 11 September 2001, the Administration of George W. Bush dismissed any criminal-justice model, put forth by various voices at home and abroad, for understanding and combating terrorism. This was ‘war’, the President insisted on 17 September, as he did repeatedly – directly, implicitly, and by analogy – in his 20 September address to Congress and on many later occasions, with American war in Afghanistan and later Iraq making that claim true. …

In the Shadow of War
In this magisterial book, a prize-winning historian shows how war has defined modern America. Michael Sherry argues that America's intense preoccupation with war emerged on the eve of World War II, marking a turning point as important as the Revolution, the end of the frontier, and other watersheds in American history. In the fifty years since the war, says Sherry, militarization has reshaped every facet of American life: its politics, economics,…

In the Shadow of War
We stand at the end of a violent century, much of it embroiled in some form of war.Living under this "shadow of war" resulted in the "militarization" of American society, according to historian Michael S. Sherry.Evidence of militarization--"the process by which war and national security became consuming anxieties and provided the memories, models, and metaphors that shaped broad areas of national life" (p.xi)--is compelling.This rather disturbing…
Projections of Hegemony and Consent in Film
These books explore how political and cultural authorities forged consent for their policies at home and abroad during the heyday of American power, from World War II into the mid-1960s. Thomas Doherty tells brilliantly what historians already know in a general way. Robert Corber explores in more labored fashion what we have only begun to confront. As in most cultural studies, their work makes few direct connections between culture and foreign po…
Patriotic orthodoxy and U.S. decline
Debate over the National Air and Space Museum's Enola Gay exhibit revealed important changes in what can be called “patriotic orthodoxy” (a useful term in that it captures the sensibilities of certain forces, although its opponents were hardly “antipatriotic”). For self-proclaimed patriots-the Air Force Association (AFA), the American Legion, and their corporate and Congressional allies—cultural victory at home, not military power abroad, was the…
