Pulp Vietnam argues that Cold War-era men's adventure magazines crafted a particular version of martial masculinity that shaped GIs' expectations and perceptions of war in Vietnam by idealizing wartime heroism and the sexual conquest of women.
"In this compelling evaluation of Cold War popular culture, Pulp Vietnam explores how men''s adventure magazines helped shape the attitudes of young, workingclass Americans, the same men who fought and served in the long and bitter war in Vietnam. The "macho pulps" - boasting titles like Man''s Conquest, Battle Cry, and Adventure Life - portrayed men courageously defeating their enemies in battle, while women were reduced to sexual objects, either trivialized as erotic trophies or depicted as sexualized villains using their bodies to prey on unsuspecting, innocent men. The result was the crafting and dissemination of a particular version of martial masculinity that helped establish GIs'' expectations and perceptions of war in Vietnam"--
