As memories of the Cold War recede, it becomes more and more
difficult to remember what it was about and why it evoked such
feelings of intensity and fatalism. Fortunately, we have a gold
mine of movies and novels to help us recall why an entire
generation of Americans grew up ducking under school desks in air
raid drills and stocking the family bomb shelter. Cold War
Fantasies retrieves those times, based on the idea that a nation's
history, self-concept, and collective anxiety are reflected in
popular culture. In Cold War Fantasies, Ronnie Lipschutz combines
an historical account of foreign and domestic politics from 1945 to
1995 with summaries and analyses of thirty novels and films
contemporaneously published and produced. Lipschutz rejects the
standard line on the Cold War and critically examines the impacts
and effects of language and images on politics. Viewing those films
and reading those novels enables the reader to come away with a
clearer sense of how people felt during the Cold War period about
themselves, about "the enemy," and about the world while living in
the shadow of the atomic bomb.
