Description
American war films have long been a staple of cinema, but what makes them so realistic? This critical text delves behind the scenes to explore fifteen key American war films from 1945 to 2010. Featuring original interviews and rare archival photographs, Steven Jay Rubin examines the most notable films in the genre. The book covers a range of conflicts, including World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, and more recent battles such as Mogadishu in 1993. By examining these films through a critical lens, Rubin sheds light on their historical significance and artistic merit. With its expanded edition, this second publication includes seven new chapters covering previously unexplored periods and events. A valuable resource for film enthusiasts and historians alike, this book offers a unique perspective on the American war film genre.
