Zusammenfassung:
In a groundbreaking reassessment of the long Cold War era, historian Gregory A. Daddis argues that ever since the Second World War's fateful conclusion, faith in and fear of war became central to Americans' thinking about the world around them. These inherent tensions - an unwavering trust and confidence in war coupled with a fear that nearly all national security threats, foreign or domestic, are existential ones - have shaped Americans' relationship with war that persists to the current day.
