Recenzje

Taking us beyond the iconic 'duck and cover' drills of the era, Grieve explores a range of youth- focused government and private initiatives that enrich our understanding of Cold War politics and the development of Post-World War II youth activism. Placing children and youth at the center of her story, she reveals the important roles they played as both powerful symbols and as important actors in American diplomacy and defense.
