More about the book

Focusing on the aftermath of the Vietnam War, the book delves into how right-wing narratives capitalized on American disillusionment in the 1980s. It examines Ronald Reagan's 1984 "Morning in America" proclamation, framing the war as a pivotal moment of national decline, and highlights its influence on Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan. Through this lens, the work critiques the manipulation of victimhood and nostalgia in American political discourse.
