内容説明

Before the Vietnam War, American intellectual life rested largely on shared assumptions and often common ideals; for the most part, intellectuals supported the social and economic reforms of the 1930s, the war against Hitler's Germany, and US conduct during the Cold War. By the the early 1960s there existed a liberal intellectual consensus. The war in south-east Asia shattered this fragile coalition, which dissolved into numerous camps, each of which questioned American institutions, values and ideals. Aiming to shed light on the demise of Cold War liberalism and the development of the New Left, this text examines the steady growth of a conservatism that used Vietnam and anti-war sentiment as a rallying point. It presents evidence indicating that neo-conservatism retreated from internationalism partly as a result of Vietnam, only to regroup later with substantially diminished goals and expectations.

内容説明

Prior to the Vietnam war, American intellectual life rested comfortably on shared assumptions and often common ideals. Intellectuals largely supported the social and economic reforms of the 1930s, the war against Hitler's Germany, and U.S. conduct during the Cold War. By the early 1960s, a liberal intellectual consensus existed. The war in Southeast Asia shattered this fragile coalition, which promptly dissolved into numerous camps, each of which questioned American institutions, values, and ideals. Robert R. Tomes sheds new light on the demise of Cold War liberalism and the development of the New Left, and the steady growth of a conservatism that used Vietnam, and anti-war sentiment, as a rallying point. Importantly, Tomes provides new evidence that neoconservatism retreated from internationalism due largely to Vietnam, only to regroup later with substantially diminished goals and expectations. Covering vast archival terrain, Apocalypse Then stands as the definitive account of the impact of the Vietnam war on American intellectual life.
