When Homeward Bound first appeared in 1988; it forever changed how we understand Cold War America. Elaine Tyler May demonstrated that the Atomic Age and the Cold War shaped American life not just in national politics; but at every level of society; from the boardroom to the bedroom. Her notion of "domestic containment" is now the standard interpretation of the era; and Homeward Bound has become a classic. This new edition includes an updated introduction and a new epilogue examining the legacy of Cold War obsessions with personal and family security in the present day.
