Whether on the big screen or small, films featuring the American
Civil War are among the most classic and controversial in motion
picture history. From D. W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation (1915) to
Free State of Jones (2016), the war has provided the setting,
ideologies, and character archetypes for cinematic narratives of
morality, race, gender, and nation, as well as serving as
historical education for a century of Americans. In The American
Civil War on Film and TV: Blue and Gray in Black and White and
Color, Douglas Brode, Shea T. Brode, and Cynthia J. Miller bring
together nineteen essays by a diverse array of scholars across the
disciplines to explore these issues. The essays included here span
a wide range of films, from the silent era to the present day,
including Buster Keaton's The General (1926), Red Badge of Courage
(1951), Glory (1989), Gettysburg (1993), and Cold Mountain (2003),
as well as television mini-series The Blue and The Gray (1982) and
John Jakes' acclaimed North and South trilogy (1985-86). As an
accessible volume to dedicated to a critical conversation about the
Civil War on film, The American Civil War on Film and TV will
appeal to not only to scholars of film, military history, American
history, and cultural history, but to fans of war films and period
films, as well.
