Cinematic depictions of real U.S. presidents from Abraham
Lincoln to George W. Bush explore how Hollywood movies represent
American history and politics on screen. Morgan and his
contributors show how films blend myth and reality to present a
positive message about presidents as the epitome of America's
values and idealism until unpopular foreign wars in Vietnam and
Iraq led to a darker portrayal of the imperial presidency, operated
by Richard Nixon and Bush 43. This exciting new collection further
considers how Hollywood has continually reinterpreted historically
significant presidents, notably Abraham Lincoln, Theodore
Roosevelt, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, to fit the times in which
movies about them were made.
