It situates these two pieces in Crumb's output and unpacks the complex methodologies needed to understand these pieces as contributions and challenges to traditional narratives of the Civil War and the Vietnam War. \u003cem\u003eThe Winds of Destiny\u003c\/em\u003e is shown to be a critical commentary on the legacy of American wars and militarism, both concepts crucial to American identity. \u003cem\u003eThe\u003c\/em\u003e \u003ci\u003eWinds of Destiny\u003c\/i\u003e also acts as an ironic war memorial as a means of critiquing such concepts. \u003ci\u003eBlack Angels \u003c\/i\u003ehas long been associated with the Vietnam War. This book shows how this association began and how it endures through connections to iconic Vietnam War media, including films and books. Together these analyses show the legacy of trauma in American collective memory, which is in a continuous crisis. Crumb's musical critiques point to a need to resist conventional narratives and to begin to heal trauma on a collective level. This book will be of interest to students of contemporary American music, American studies, and memory studies. It benefits readers by newly situating Crumb's music within these three fields of study. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbigail Shupe\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Assistant Professor of Music Theory at Colorado State University.
