>The term 'Defiant Modernism', it is argued, describes well a historical
>epoch of enormous change as the technologies developed during the
>Second World War were exploited in war and thereafter adapted for
>civilian use. The period can be seen as stretching from the Munich crisis
>of 1938 to the student uprisings of 1968.
