| Summary |
In the aftermath of World War II, Georgia's veterans all found that service in the war enhanced their sense of male, political, and racial identity, but often in contradictory ways. Jennifer E. Brooks shows how veterans competed in a protracted and sometimes violent struggle to determine the complex character of Georgia's postwar future |
