K. A. Cuordileone has written an ambitious and remarkably successful study of Cold War-era American political culture as it was shaped by anxieties concerning gender, sexuality, and the male self. Cuordileone undertakes to explain politics in an “age of anxiety,” characterized by red and lavender scares and a liberalism increasingly put on the defensive by a gendered political rhetoric of “hard and soft.” She builds on related bodies of cultural and political history that engage gender and sexuality to help explain the history of the Cold War United States, including work by Barbara Ehrenreich, Garry Wills, John D'Emilio, Michael Paul Rogin, Elaine Tyler May, Geoffrey S. Smith, Frank Costigliola, Joanne Meyerowitz, Emily Rosenberg, and others. By gracefully and creatively synthesizing much of that scholarship, and by drawing on wide and deep reading in published primary materials of the era, Manhood and American Political Culture in the Cold War effectively bridges the subdisciplines of cultural, political, and gender history
