{"product_id":"the-war-that-wont-die-david-archibald-9780719096532","title":"The War That Won't Die: The Spanish Civil War in Cinema","description":"The war that won't die charts the changing nature of cinematic depictions of the Spanish Civil War. In 1936, a significant number of artists, filmmakers and writers - from George Orwell and Pablo Picasso to Joris Ivens and Joan Miró - rallied to support the country's democratically-elected Republican government. The arts have played an important role in shaping popular understandings of the Spanish Civil War and this book examines the specific role cinema has played in this process. The book's focus is on fictional feature films produced within Spain and beyond its borders between the 1940s and the early years of the twenty-first century - including Hollywood blockbusters, East European films, the work of the avant garde in Paris and films produced under Franco's censorial dictatorship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book will appeal to scholars and students of Film, Media and Hispanic Studies, but also to historians and, indeed, anyone interested in why the Spanish Civil War remains such a contested political topic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Archibald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719096537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719096532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.47d","brand":"David Archibald","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45331720110335,"sku":"9780719096532","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_268e7c99-4f7c-4c4d-9548-84cbbf134884.jpg?v=1713970713","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-war-that-wont-die-david-archibald-9780719096532","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
