Both authoritative and engaging, American History and Contemporary Hollywood Film is the first book to comprehensively explore the post-cold war period of filmmaking, and to navigate the complex ways that film mediates history—sometimes challenging or questioning, but more frequently reaffirming traditional interpretations.
