This fascinating book exposes the movie industry as a key
protagonist in the US strategy debate, through the production of
films on national security across many genres, from comedy to
thriller, from sci-fi to war movies. This timely volume also
explores prevailing ideas of the threat' to homeland USA that are
put forward by the national security network, a threat that is seen
as the justification for and legitimization of America's military
operations and strategic choices. Valantin reveals how in the last
20 years there has been a consistent collaboration between the US
Department of Defense and film studios and enormous contracts have
been exchanged between the two industries. This book shows how
Hollywood is completely penetrated by the ideological and political
thinking of Washington, which in turn appears to be directly
inspired by the productions of Hollywood.
