Summary
Discipline and Indulgence demonstrates how American popular culture during the early Cold War (1947-1964), especially college football, addressed the nation's postwar affluence and consumerism and their effects on the population by integrating men into the economy of the Cold War as workers, warriors, and consumers. It assesses the period's institutional linkage of sport, higher education, media and militarism and finds connections of contemporary sport media to today's War on Terror. </div.
