Summary

"History in the Media provides a close look at how the treatment of specific topics changes over time. A film about World War II made during the war, for example, is drastically different from a World War II film made in the post-Vietnam era - why? This book examines such changes in cultural attitude and creative treatment across time, providing rare insight into the dynamic and enduring relationship between Hollywood and history."--Jacket.
