TY - GEN T1 - War on the silver screen : shaping America's perception of history A1 - Jeansonne, Glen, 1946- A1 - Luhrssen, David LA - English PP - Lincoln PB - Potomac Books, an imprint of the University of Nebraska Press YR - 2014 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocn893898546 AB - Americans have been almost constantly at war since 1917. In addition to two world wars, the United States has fought proxy wars, propaganda wars, and a ""war on terror, "" among others. But even with the constant presence of war in American life, much of what Americans remember about those conflicts comes from Hollywood depictions. In War on the Silver Screen Glen Jeansonne and David Luhrssen vividly demonstrate how war movies have burned the images and impressions of those wars onto the American psyche more concretely than has the reality of the wars themselves. That is, our feelings about war.
