Jerry Lembcke earned his Ph.D. in Sociology in 1978 from the University of Oregon. He is Associate Professor Emeritus of Sociology and has taught Development of Social Theory, Sociology of Power, and, recently, Reading the Times. Professor Lembcke's research interest centers on media (re)constructions and myth-making. His recent book is Hanoi Jane: War, Sex, and Fantasies of Betrayal. CNN's Tailwind Tale explores the power of myth in shaping memories of the Vietnam War among those who felt soldiers were betrayed by liberal elites. The book contains detailed discussions of postwar media, literature, and politics. On June 7, 1998 CNN broadcast Valley of Death, the story of a 1970 raid into Laos by U.S. Special Forces. According to the report, Operation Tailwind had used sarin nerve gas to kill U.S. soldiers who had defected to the North Vietnamese. After a firestorm of controversy, CNN retracted the report, ruining the career of rising star April Oliver and compromising the network's credibility. CNN's Operation Tailwind fiasco was the biggest news scandal of the 1990s. Hearing about the story after its broadcast, Jerry Lembcke was struck by its resemblance to war legends and myths. His search for the origins of the tale, and an explanation for why top-level journalists would believe it, led him into the shocking world of political paranoia, where conspiracy theory, popular culture, religious fundamentalism, and the fantasies of war veterans cross paths. Lembcke reversed the normal inquiry into how journalists shape what the rest of us know, to ask questions about the forces that shape what journalists know. Artikel-Nr. 78783
