| Streszczenie: | "Remaking the Conquering Heroes shows that American policymakers and Army officers had to confront a lawless U.S. military in the aftermath of World War II. Money laundering, theft, racial antagonism between black and white Gls, unregulated sex, high rates of venereal disease, as well as Soviet-American conflict all threatened to undermine American authority in occupied Germany. Willoughby argues that it was the creative, if somewhat 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 U.S. power during the Cold War."--BOOK JACKET |
