A Missing Piece of Heart: Children's Perceptions of the Persian Gulf War of 1991.
Knowles, Trudy
Social Education, v57 n1 p19-22 Jan 1993
Describes a study of 14 fifth graders concerning their understanding and attitudes toward the Persian Gulf War. Finds that the public school served as a significant socialization agent during the war, although television was even more important. Concludes that patriotic issues and activities overshadowed any attempts to have students think critically about the war. (CFR)
