Male Armor: The Soldier-hero in Contemporary American Culture - Cultural Frames, Framing Culture
Jon Robert Adams
Examines the ways in which novels, plays, and films about America's late-twentieth-century wars reflect altering perceptions of masculinity in the culture at large. This book highlights the gap between the cultural conception of masculinity and the individual experience of it, and exposes the myth of war as an experience that verifies manhood.
