Short description:
Andrew Hunt's history of the eighties investigates how film, television, and other facets of popular culture critiqued Washington's Cold War policies and reveals that activists and cultural rebels alike posed a more meaningful challenge to the Cold War's excesses than their predecessors in the McCarthy era.
MoreLong description:
In the moments before his weekly radio address hit the airwaves in 1984, Ronald Reagan made an off-the-record joke: &&&39;I&&&39;ve signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.&&&39; As reports of the stunt leaked to the press, many Americans did not find themselves laughing along with the president. Long a fervent warrior against what he termed the &&&39;Evil Empire,&&&39; by the mid-1980s, Reagan confronted growing domestic opposition to his revival of the Cold War. While numerous histories of the era have glorified the &&&39;Decade of Greed,&&&39; historian Andrew Hunt instead explores the period&&&39;s robust political and cultural dissent.
We Begin Bombing in Five Minutes focuses on a striking array of protest movements that took up issues such as the nuclear arms race, U.S. intervention in Central America, and American investments in South Africa. Hunt&&&39;s new history of the eighties investigates how film, television, and other facets of popular culture critiqued Washington&&&39;s Cold War policies and reveals that activists and cultural rebels alike posed a more meaningful challenge to the Cold War&&&39;s excesses than their predecessors in the McCarthy era.
