SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE (Valid until 3 months after publication) The Cold War dominated international politics between 1945 and 1990, when the two superpowers, the United States and Soviet Union, vied for supremacy.

When Soldiers Fall: How Americans Have Confronted Combat Losses from World War I to Afghanistan
ISBN: 9780199890385 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Call it the Vietnam Syndrome or Black Hawk Down blowback. It's the standard assumption that Americans won't tolerate combat casualties, that a rising body count lowers support for war. But that's not true, argues historian Steven Casey; even worse, this assumption damages democracy. Fearing a backlash, the military has routinely distorted its casualty reports in order to hide the true cost of war. When Soldiers Fall takes a new look at the way Americans have dealt with the toll of armed conflict. Drawing on a vast array of sources, from George Patton's command papers to...

Cautious Crusade: Franklin D. Roosevelt, American Public Opinion, and the War Against Nazi Germany
ISBN: 9780195174014 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. America's struggle against Nazism is one of the few aspects of World War II that has escaped controversy. Historians agree that it was a widely popular war, different from the subsequent conflicts in Korea and Vietnam because of the absence of partisan sniping, ebbing morale, or calls for a negotiated peace.
In this provocative book, Steven Casey challenges conventional wisdom about America's participation in World War II. Drawing on the numerous opinion polls and surveys conducted by the U.S. government, he traces the development of elite and mass attitudes toward Germany, from the early...

How presidents spark and sustain support for wars remains an enduring and significant problem.

In Selling the Korean War, Steven Casey explores how President Truman and then Eisenhower tried to sell it to the American public. Based on a massive array of primary sources, Casey subtly explores the government's selling activities from all angles. He looks at the halting and sometimes chaotic efforts of Harry Truman and Dean Acheson, Dwight...
