Hollywood, the Pentagon and Washington: The Movies and National Security from World War II to the Present Day

by Jean-Michel Valantin

This timely volume 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 Hollywood film studios.

[LuckyVV · Rating 4 out of 5]

Très intéressant sur le fond et sur le cinéma américain du XXe siècle jusqu'à 2001. L'auteur nomme et résume beaucoup de films qui ont marqué l'imaginaire des américains et explique pourquoi, et surtout comment l'industrie cinématographique et les agences nationales de sécurité intérieure et extérieure sont étroitement mêlées.
