Largely overshadowed by World War II's "greatest generation" and
the more vocal veterans of the Vietnam era, Korean War veterans
remain relatively invisible in the narratives of both war and its
aftermath. Yet, just as the beaches of Normandy and the jungles of
Vietnam worked profound changes on conflict participants, the
Korean Peninsula chipped away at the beliefs, physical and mental
well-being, and fortitude of Americans completing wartime tours of
duty there. Upon returning home, Korean War veterans struggled with
home front attitudes toward the war, faced employment and family
dilemmas, and wrestled with readjustment. Not unlike other wars,
Korea proved a formative and defining influence on the men and
women stationed in theater, on their loved ones, and in some
measure on American culture. In the Shadow of the Greatest
Generation not only gives voice to those Americans who served in
the "forgotten war" but chronicles the larger personal and
collective consequences of waging war the American way.
