Through a century of movies, the U.S. military held sway over war
and service-oriented films. Influenced by the armed forces and
their public relations units, Hollywood presented moviegoers with
images of a faultless American fighting machine led by heroic
commanders. This book examines this cooperation with detailed
narratives of military blunders and unfit officers that were
whitewashed to be presented in a more favorable light. Drawing on
production files, correspondence between bureaucrats and
filmmakers, and contemporary critical reviews, the author reveals
the behind-the-scenes political maneuvers that led to the rewriting
of history on-screen.
