Patrick Gallagher argues that under certain circumstances, a postwar form of national mythology develops, derived from POW/MIA activism and the belief that substantial numbers of MIAs continue to survive in secret captivity after war's end. He refers to this phenomenon as the "secret camp myth," after the covert facilities in which these missing men supposedly survive. Gallagher demonstrates that these two parallel cases of national trauma over prisoners and the missing demonstrate how wars can breed mythologies that, if not satisfied, can take on lives of their own and come to dominate national conversations on the history of warfare, aftermath, and defeat."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Loss (Psychology) $x Political aspects $v Case studies. 650 0 $a War $x Psychological aspects $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Conspiracy theories $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Collective memory $v Case studies. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Missing in action $z Germany. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Prisoners and prisons, Russian. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Prisoners and prisons, North Vietnamese. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Missing in action $z United States. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213013245.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180802013703.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D2064A047E8911E893E09E1097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
