Censored War
Roeder

'The Censored War' is divided into four chapters, each followed by a 'visual essay' (a collection of photos, ads and other visual material, with captions discussing how the images relate to the themes explored in the text). Only the first chapter is really devoted to subjects and images that were 'censored' in the sense that the military withheld them from publication (although that subject arises again in some of the other chapters). The remainder of the book is (largely) devoted to the imagery that *was* made available and what it communicated about American society, the home front, and the motivations behind the war effort. The material I found most interesting concerned the portrayal of race, gender and class differences (or the alleged lack of same) during WWII (with the government trying to say 'we're all in this together' to African-Americans, women and the working class without offending the country's racists, men and business/patrician class).
