Young Lions: How Jewish Authors Reinvented the American War Novel
shows how Jews, traditionally castigated as weak and cowardly, for
the first time became the popular literary representatives of what
it meant to be a soldier and what it meant to be an American.
Revisiting best-selling works ranging from Norman Mailer's The
Naked and the Dead to Joseph Heller's Catch-22, and uncovering a
range of unknown archival material, Leah Garrett shows how Jewish
writers used the theme of World War II to reshape the American
public's ideas about war, the Holocaust, and the role of Jews in
postwar life. In contrast to most previous war fiction these new
"Jewish" war novels were often ironic, funny, and irreverent and
sought to teach the reading public broader lessons about
liberalism, masculinity, and pluralism.
