Description: In/Visible War addresses a paradox of twenty-first century American warfare. The editors examine how the contemporary visual American experience of war is ubiquitous and utterly present in public, popular culture, and yet war is simultaneously invisible or absent; we lack a lived sense that "America" is at war.

Review Quotes: "In/Visible War is a timely and stimulating collection that offers a fresh and provocative insight into the impact of the 'global war on terror' on American culture and politics."
--John Bodnar "author of The Good War in American Memory"
