Vietnam War on Film illustrates how to employ film as a teaching
tool. It also stands on its own as an account of the war and the
major films that have depicted it. Even for many people who
experienced the Vietnam War first hand, memories of that conflict
have often been shaped by the popular films that depicted it: The
Quiet American, The Green Berets, The Deer Hunter, Coming Home,
Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, and Apocalypse Now, among others.
Vietnam War on Film examines how the war is portrayed through a
selection of ten iconic films that represent the war through
dramatization and storytelling as opposed to through documentary
footage. The book includes an introduction to the war's history and
a timeline of events, followed by ten chapters, each of which
focuses on a specific Vietnam War movie. Chapters offer a uniquely
detailed level of historical context for the films, weighing their
depiction of events against the historical record and evaluating
how well or how poorly those films reflected the truth and shaped
public memory and discourse over the war. A final section of
"Resources" provides a comprehensive annotated bibliography of
print and electronic sources to aid students and teachers in
further research. Provides a unique guide to the Vietnam War
experience for film history buffs, students and scholars of
history, and fans of the cinema Offers equal emphasis on the films
themselves and the historical events depicted Presents carefully
researched and highly informative coverage Stimulates debate over
the various ways the war was interpreted and experienced
