520    "What kind of army wants the king of rock-n-roll? Elvis's 
       Army explores the great military and social experiment 
       that was the Cold War atomic army. Militarily, the US Army
       transformed for the revolution in warfare initiated by the
       nuclear weapons. Traumatized by Cold War reductions and 
       Korea, it seized on the vision of a great atomic land war 
       against the Soviet Union. It not only adapted a radically 
       new way of fighting, but fundamental changes in its 
       equipment, concepts, and training. Socially, the 1950s the
       service underwent even more of a transformation. In large 
       part due to the draft, the Fifties Army became the 
       nation's most racially and economically egalitarian 
       institution, the only place where black and white, college
       graduates and illiterates, rich and poor, urban and rural 
       had to live, work, and, if necessary, fight together. In 
       return for their service, the army was expected to provide
       young males not only with military skills, but also 
       education, technical training, entertainment, and moral 
       instruction. This social transformation was nowhere more 
       evident than with Elvis Presley. He entered the service a 
       notorious musical rebel hated by adult society; he emerged
       two years later a clean-cut young all-American boy in the 
       movie G.I. Blues. Elvis's Army is the first history of the
       US Army's transformation for the atomic battlefield. But 
       it also reveals the cultural importance of the US Army in 
       Fifties America, from draft calls to ROTC, from basic 
       training to overseas service, from Madison Avenue to 
       Hollywood, and from atomic maneuvers to rock-n-roll."--
