Theaters of Occupation reveals how Germans responded to these education efforts and offers new insights about American exceptionalism and virtual democracy at the dawn of the cold war. "Jennifer Fay offers subtle and sophisticated readings of select films, amply demonstrating how self-contradictory and problematic the American concept of democratic re-education can be in the sphere of culture."
