Containment Culture: American Narratives, Postmodernism, and the Atomic Age
Nadel argues that the culture of postwar America can be read in terms of the Cold War notion of "containment." He analyzes a number of texts in this respect. These include films (The Ten Commandments, Rear Window, The Lady and the Tramp, Pillow Talk, What's Up Tiger Lily, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance), novels (The Catcher in the Rye, Hiroshima, Catch-22, Meridian) and historical events (the Bay of Pigs incident, the Free Speech movement at Berkeley).
