Describes how the national character changed between the end of World War II and the Vietnam War, and discusses the impact of the decline in the belief of inevitable American victory

From the Back Cover:
The End of Victory Culture is an autopsy of a once vital American myth: the cherished belief that triumph over a less-than-human enemy was in the American grain, a birthright and a national destiny. This book is a compelling account of how a national narrative of triumph through which Americans bad always sustained themselves as a people underwent a vertiginous decomposition from Hiroshima to Vietnam.
