Abstract

"Cold War Country: How Nashville's Music Row and the Pentagon Created the Sound of American Patriotism" explores the intertwining of Country music and the U.S. military during and after World War II. The book delves into how Country music entrepreneurs used the Cold War and military to grow their business, leading to a conservative shift in the genre's politics. The author, Joseph M. Thompson, carefully documents the development of Country music's patriotic dimension and its relationship with the military, shedding light on the cultural forces at play in U.S. history.
