Beskrivning
This work is a comparative study of the three "great" American wars of the 20th century: World War I, World War II and Vietnam. The book explores several aspects of American popular culture, like fashion, film and societal mores. While a number of books have covered fashion during individual wars, this is the first study to compare several major conflicts, drawing some conclusions regarding the lasting influences of wardrobe over an entire century. This book provides short background information for each war, briefly covering earlier conflicts that shaped the hostilities of the 20th century. Although the emphasis is on women's clothing, participation and service, men are not ignored. Their fashions not only speak to the times, but the enormity of their sacrifices.

Recensioner i media

“Upon first reading the title, it seemed to this reviewer as if Sigler was going to recycle the same old notions about the connection of large social events, such as war and fashion. Within a chapter, however, it became apparent that the author was not doing anything of the sort—her analysis concerns magazines, posters, and films. Further, her writing is so lively and entertaining that it would not really matter even if she did retread familiar territory. ... highly recommended”—Choice
