Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

War novels based on predominant war themes like despair, chaos, and chicanery of modern American life emerged as a major literary genre in post World War II American literature. While novels like The Naked and Catch-22 explored the dislocation of man in the post war era, Rabbit, Run, and In the Beauty of the Lilies discussed American middle class culture and taboo issues like adultery. African American literature, another significant genre of this period, dealt with black issues like racism in works like Invisible Man and Native Son.
