The Cold War on Film illustrates how to use film as a teaching
tool. It stands on its own as an account of both the war and the
major films that have depicted it. Memories of the Cold War have
often been shaped by the popular films that depict it-for example,
The Manchurian Candidate, The Hunt for Red October, and Charlie
Wilson's War, among others. The Cold War on Film examines how the
Cold War has been portrayed through a selection of 10 iconic films
that represent it 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. Each of
the 10 chapters that follow focuses on a specific Cold War film.
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 comprehensive annotated bibliography of print and electronic
sources aids students and teachers in further research. Provides a
unique guide to the Cold War experience for film history buffs,
students and scholars of history, and fans of 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
