Guts and Glory by Lawrence Howard Suid
This is a study of the symbiotic relationship between the film industry and the United States armed services. Since the first edition, the nation has experienced several wars, both on the battlefield and in movie theatres and living rooms at home. This is a revised and extended edition of this history of the mutual exploitation of the film industry and the military, exploring how Hollywood has reflected and effected changes in America's image of its armed services. It includes contemporary war films such as ""Saving Private Ryan"", ""U-571"", ""Pearl Harbor"" and ""Windtalkers"".
Brings Hollywood pictures of war into focus- Wilson Quarterly ""An excellent contribution to the growing studies on American films and to the war film genre in particular."" - Film and History ""As a behind-the-lens history, Suid's Guts and Glory is a perfect complement to the films he discusses at length."" - Cineaste ""This is excellent film history in a much neglected area of scholarship."" - Library Journal
