This book serves as a guide to 100 war films from 1930 to the present, exploring wars set as early as the 13th century Scottish Wars of Independence to those taking place in the 21st century, including the Napoleonic Wars, the American Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. For each movie, it provides background, production, synopsis, reception, and anecdotes as well as addresses the films’ historical accuracy.
This four-volume set is an exhaustive study of American film history from its late-nineteenth-century origins to the present day. Extremely comprehensive in its scope, the approach taken here is one of selected topics rather than encyclopedic entries.
