Description

Recreates a time when World War III seemed imminent. This book explores a central dimension of American culture and politics - the postwar preoccupation with captivity. It reveals how 'menticide', the calculated destruction of individual autonomy, struck many Americans as a more immediate danger than nuclear annihilation.
