"Written from an international perspective, this book offers a lucid introduction to the ways films are made and used, culminating with the exploration of the fundamental question, what is history and what is it for? This introductory text blends historical and methodological issues with examples to create a systematic guide to issues involved in using historical film in the study of history."--BOOK JACKET.
