Product Information
Last Stands from the Alamo to Benghazi examines how filmmakers teach Americans about the country's military past. Examining twenty-three representative war films and locating them in their cultural and military landscape, the authors argue that Hollywood's view of American military history has evolved in two phases. The first phase, extending from the very beginnings of filmmaking to the Korean War, projected an essential patriotic triumphalism. The second phase, from the Korean and Vietnam Wars to the present, reflects a retreat from consensus and reflexive patriotism. In describing these phases, the authors address recurring themes such as the experience of war and combat, the image of the American war hero, race, gender, national myths, and more. With helpful film commentaries that extend the discussion through popular movie narratives, this book is essential for anyone interested in American military and film history.

Reviews
"Last Stands is an ideal entry for readings in filmography and military history. Wetta and Novelli's exploration of how 'last stands' have been depicted in America's--and thus the world's--visual culture demonstrates how in the modern age film not only advances historical interpretations, but amends them to accord with transformations in the larger culture. The authors' methods and standards of judgment for this wide variety of films can be easily adapted for an understanding of how other film genres fit in with the course of modern history." - Roger Spiller, author of An Instinct for War: Scenes from the Battlefields of History (2007). "Wetta and Novelli offer an innovative theme to thoughtfully analyze American war films. The authors reach insightful conclusions that will inform students while provoking historians and film scholars to reconsider these selected movies." -Joseph G.
