Description: Reading Vietnam Amid the War on Terrorargues that the examination of contemporary American war narratives can lead to newfound understandings of American literature, American history, and American national purpose. To prove such a contention, the book blends literary, rhetorical, and cultural methods of analysis, focusing primarily on texts produced in response to the Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars.
