Elvis’s Army: Cold War GIs and the Atomic Battlefield

When the Army drafted Elvis in 1958, it set about transforming the King of Rock and Roll from a rebellious teen idol into a clean-cut GI trained for nuclear warfare. Brian Linn traces the origins, evolution, and ultimate failure of the armyâ€™s attempt to reinvent itself for the Atomic Age, and reveals the experiences of its forgotten soldiers.
