American War Cinema and Media Since Vietnam: Politics, Ideology, and Class - Hardcover

by Patricia Keeton (Author), Peter Scheckner (Author)

No other cinematic genre more sharply illustrates the contradictions of American society - notions about social class, politics, and socio-economic ideology - than the war film. This book examines the latest cycle of war films to reveal how they mediate and negotiate the complexities of war, class, and a military-political mission largely gone bad.
