To make this groundbreaking revelation, \u003ci\u003eIn Time of War\u003c\/i\u003e explodes conventional wisdom about American reactions to World War II, as well as the more recent conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Adam Berinsky argues that public response to these crises has been shaped less by their defining characteristics-such as what they cost in lives and resources-than by the same political interests and group affiliations that influence our ideas about domestic issues.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the help of World War II-era survey data that had gone virtually untouched for the past sixty years, Berinsky begins by disproving the myth of \"the good war\" that Americans all fell in line to support after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. The attack, he reveals, did not significantly alter public opinion but merely punctuated interventionist sentiment that had already risen in response to the ways that political leaders at home had framed the fighting abroad. Weaving his findings into the first general theory of the factors that shape American wartime opinion, Berinsky also sheds new light on our reactions to other crises. He shows, for example, that our attitudes toward restricted civil liberties during Vietnam and after 9\/11 stemmed from the same kinds of judgments we make during times of peace.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith Iraq and Afghanistan now competing for attention with urgent issues within the United States, \u003ci\u003eIn Time of War\u003c\/i\u003e offers a timely reminder of the full extent to which foreign and domestic politics profoundly influence-and ultimately illuminate-each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdam J.
