{"product_id":"korean-war-comic-books-leonard-rifas-9780786443963","title":"Korean War Comic Books","description":"\u003cp\u003e Comic books have presented fictional and fact-based stories of the Korean War, as it was being fought and afterward. Comparing these comics with events that inspired them offers a deeper understanding of the comics industry, America's \"forgotten war,\" and the anti-comics movement, championed by psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, who criticized their brutalization of the imagination. Comics--both newsstand offerings and government propaganda--used fictions to justify the unpopular war as necessary and moral. This book examines the dramatization of events and issues, including the war's origins, germ warfare, brainwashing, Cold War espionage, the nuclear threat, African Americans in the military, mistreatment of POWs, and atrocities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonard Rifas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786443960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786443963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Leonard Rifas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075422449919,"sku":"9780786443963","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e808378-19b9-459e-83c4-0e6d6732c099.jpg?v=1685459327","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/korean-war-comic-books-leonard-rifas-9780786443963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
