We begin bombing in five minutes." As reports of the stunt leaked to the press, many Americans did not find themselves laughing along with the president.

While numerous histories of the era have glorified the "Decade of Greed," historian Andrew Hunt instead explores the period's robust political and cultural dissent. We Begin Bombing in Five Minutes focuses on a striking array of protest movements that took up issues such as the nuclear arms race, U.S. intervention in Central America, and American investments in South Africa. Hunt's new history of the eighties investigates how film, television, and other facets of popular culture critiqued Washington's Cold War policies and reveals that activists and cultural rebels alike posed a more meaningful challenge to the Cold War's excesses than their predecessors in the McCarthy era"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1981-1989. 650 0 $a Cold War in popular culture $z United States. 650 0 $a Antinuclear movement $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Peace movements $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Protest movements $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hunt, Andrew. $t We begin bombing in five minutes $d Amherst : University of Massachusetts Press, [2021] $z 9781613768327 $w (DLC) 2020053366 830 0 $a Culture and politics in the Cold War and beyond. 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20230817010258.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220506012428.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AE8C2E54533D11EC9185B7CB4CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
