He demonstrates how the war film reflects the currents of history of the time with actual events portrayed and in dramatic plot points. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeginning with  IThe Birth of a Nation R in 1915, McAdams weaves the development of Hollywood, the larger socioeconomic and political events of the time with the way war was and is portrayed in American film. In wartime he shows the struggle between propaganda and patriotism on the one side and the desire of many directors and film people to portray war as they came to know it on the other. He concludes with  IPearl Harbor R and Hollywood's search for historical film blockbusters. A fascinating survey for film and American military history scholars and students as well as the general public interested in American film in context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank McAdams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275968715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275968717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.04w x 1.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2003 pg. 1190","brand":"Frank McAdams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135960789247,"sku":"9780275968717","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba6c87eb-cd89-4b83-b47d-e373cb5d86b7.jpg?v=1770159590","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-american-war-film-frank-mcadams-9780275968717","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
