Beskrivning

This is a study of the symbiotic relationship between the film industry and the United States armed services. Since the first edition, the nation has experienced several wars, both on the battlefield and in movie theatres and living rooms at home. This is a revised and extended edition of this history of the mutual exploitation of the film industry and the military, exploring how Hollywood has reflected and effected changes in America's image of its armed services. It includes contemporary war films such as ""Saving Private Ryan"", ""U-571"", ""Pearl Harbor"" and ""Windtalkers"".
