Remaking the Conquering Heroes shows that American policymakers and
Army officers had to confront and take control over a lawless US
military in the aftermath of World War II. Money laundering, theft,
racial antagonism between black and white GIs, unregulated sex, and
high rates of venereal disease threatened to undermine American
authority in occupied Germany as much as Soviet-American conflict.
Willoughby argues that it was the creative, if disorganized,
reaction of American officials in Germany that helped create both a
foreign policy framework and more inclusive, familial military
establishment capable of consolidating and extending US power
during the Cold War.
