Description: "Science fiction and the U.S. military often inhabit the same imaginative space. Some science fiction creators willingly cooperated with the military; others were conscripted. Some have used the genre as a forum for protest. This book examines the relationship between the U.S. military and science fiction through more than 80 years of novels, comics, films and television series"--
