{"product_id":"cowboys-as-cold-warriors-stanley-corkin-9781592132539","title":"Cowboys as Cold Warriors: The Western and U.S. History","description":"Though the United States emerged from World War II with superpower status and quickly entered a period of economic prosperity, the stresses and contradictions of the Cold War nevertheless cast a shadow over American life. The same period marked the heyday of the western film. \"Cowboys as Cold Warriors\" shows that this was no coincidence. It examines many of the significant westerns released between 1946 and 1962, analyzing how they responded to and influenced the cultural climate of the country. Author Stanley Corkin discusses a dozen films in detail, connecting them to each other and to numerous others. He considers how these cultural productions both embellished the myth of the American frontier and reflected the era in which they were made. \u003cbr\u003eFilms discussed include: My Darling Clementine, Red River, Duel in the Sun, Pursued, Fort Apache, Broken Arrow, The Gunfighter, High Noon, Shane, The Searchers, Gunfight at the OK Corral, The Magnificent Seven, The Alamo, Lonely Are the Brave, Ride the High Country, and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanley Corkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1592132537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781592132539\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 5.96w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2005 pg. 1029","brand":"Stanley Corkin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065726939391,"sku":"9781592132539","price":81.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3969cef-827b-46a1-ae36-d1c07ff5628b.jpg?v=1768676859","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cowboys-as-cold-warriors-stanley-corkin-9781592132539","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
