audiobook Chickamauga; Andersonville; Fort Sumter And Guard Duty at Home: Four Civil War Diaries by From Brand: McFarland n Company in History

Description

The Korean experience changed the way Americans viewed war. The lack of a clear-cut victory inspired filmmakers to try to make sense of fighting another country's civil war and risking American lives for an unpopular cause. This filmography details more than 90 English-language films. Each entry includes complete cast and credit listings; a plot synopsis; evaluation; review snippets; and notice of video availability. This book places each film in its historical context; assesses the essential truthfulness of each film and evaluates its entertainment value; and discusses how--and why--Korean War films differ from other Hollywood war genres. Four appendices list the films by chronology; production company and studio; level of historical accuracy; and subject and theme. Additional appendices list films with incidental references to the Korean War; documentaries on the Korean War; and South Korean films about the war. Photographs; a bibliography; and an index are included.
