Über dieses E-Book
The impact of war on American society has been extensive throughout our nation′s history. War has transformed economic patterns, government policy, public sentiments, social trends and cultural expression.
SAGE Reference is proud to announce the Encyclopedia of War and American Society. This Encyclopedia is a comprehensive, highly-credentialed multidisciplinary historical work that examines the numerous ways wars affect societies. The three volumes cover a wide range of general thematic categories, issues, and topics that address not only the geopolitical effects of war, but also show how the U.S. engagement in national and international conflicts has affected the social and cultural arena.
