Cinema's Military Industrial Complex (Paperback)

The vast, and vastly influential, American military machine has
been aided and abetted by cinema since the earliest days of the
medium. The US military realized very quickly that film could be
used in myriad ways: training, testing, surveying and mapping,
surveillance, medical and psychological management of soldiers, and
of course, propaganda. Bringing together a collection of new
essays, based on archival research, Wasson and Grieveson seek to
cover the complex history of how the military deployed cinema for
varied purposes across the the long twentieth century, from the
incipient wars of US imperialism in the late nineteenth century to
the ongoing War on Terror. This engagement includes cinema created
and used by and for the military itself (such as training films),
the codevelopment of technologies (chemical, mechanical, and
digital), and the use of film (and related mass media) as a key
aspect of American "soft power," at home and around the world. A
rich and timely set of essays, this volume will become a go-to for
scholars interested in all aspects of how the military creates and
uses moving-image media.
