520 1  "In Male Armor, Jon Robert Adams examines the ways in 
       which novels, plays, and films about America's late-
       twentieth-century wars reflect altering perceptions of 
       masculinity in the culture at large. He highlights the gap
       between the cultural conception of masculinity and the 
       individual experience of it, and exposes the myth of war 
       as an experience that verifies manhood." "Drawing on a 
       wide range of work, from the war novels of Ernest 
       Hemingway, Norman Mailer, James Jones, and Joseph Heller 
       to David Rabe's play Streamers and Anthony Swofford's 
       Jarhead, Adams examines the evolving image of the soldier 
       from World War I to Operation Desert Storm. In discussing 
       these changing perceptions of masculinity, he reveals how 
       works about war in the late twentieth century attempt to 
       eradicate inconsistencies among American civilian 
       conceptions of war, the military's expectations of the 
       soldier, and the soldier's experience of combat. Adams 
       argues that these inconsistencies are largely responsible 
       not only for continuing support of the war enterprise but 
       also for the soldiers' difficulty in reintegration to 
       civilian society upon their return."--Jacket.
