Excerpts

A fascinating survey of Hollywood's movies on 20th-century wars.
A timeless Hollywood staple, the war movie has become an American art form. Whether rousing audiences with patriotic excitement or casting a cold light on the horrors of armed combat, films such as Patton, Saving Private Ryan, The Bridge on the River Kwai, M.A.S.H., Platoon, Pearl Harbor, and hundreds of others offer viewers glimpses of history, war, and battles. Entertaining and often unforgettable, the depiction of wars in film has impressed upon audiences both the glory and the tragedy of the unimaginable.
The Encyclopedia of War Movies is the ultimate reference to movies made about 20th-century wars. Featuring more than 800 entries, it covers everything from the early silent films to modern-day blockbusters. Each entry provides production credits, a synopsis of the film, an account of interesting facts about the movie, mistakes and inaccuracies visible on-screen, and historical facts about the military service of those involved in the filming. Complete listings of award nominations and wins are also included, along with black-and-white photographs.
