Taking American mobilization in WWII as its departure point, this book offers a concise but comprehensive introduction to the history of militarization in the United States since 1940. Exploring the ways in which war and the preparation for war have shaped and affected the United States during The American Century, Fitzgerald demonstrates how militarization has moulded relations between the US and the rest of the world.

Providing a timely synthesis of key scholarship in a rapidly developing field, this book shows how national security concerns have affected issues as diverse as the development of the welfare state, infrastructure spending, gender relations and notions of citizenship. It also examines the way in which war is treated in the American imagination; how it has been depicted throughout this era, why its consequences have been made largely invisible and how Americans have often considered themselves to be reluctant warriors.



In integrating domestic histories with international and transnational topics such as the American empire of bases and the experience of American service personnel overseas, the author outlines the ways in which American militarization had, and still has, global consequences. Of interest to scholars, researchers and students of military history, war studies, US foreign relations and policy, this book addresses a burgeoning and dynamic field from which parallels and comparisons can be drawn for the modern day.

Recenzijos

Informative and thorough ... Militarization and the American Century is an instructive and comprehensive book, a fine piece of scholarship that will inform and provoke. * H-Net * As David Fitzgerald shows in this intelligent, humane, and elegantly written book, since World War II the military has defined modern American society as much as anything else. Building on the recent scholarship on militarization, Fitzgerald reveals the fascinating extent to which the United States has been shaped by war. * Andrew Preston, Cambridge University, UK * Fitzgeralds book offers a persuasive account of how American militarization accelerated in the context of Cold War competition, rather than grounding it in the Second World War moment. * International Affairs * This innovative examination of everything from social welfare policies to base politics and the southern border reveals both the centrality of militarization to American domestic politics and foreign relations and its increasing invisibility. An important work for those interested in how militarism took hold and whether its tentacles can be disentangled. * Kara Dixon Vuic, LCpl. Benjamin W. Schmidt Professor of War, Conflict, and Society in Twentieth-Century America, Texas Christian University, USA *
