Elvisæs 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 armyÆs attempt to reinvent itself for the Atomic Age, and reveals the experiences of its forgotten soldiers.
