Produktbeschreibung
Throughout film history, war films have been in constant dialogue with both previous depictions of war and contemporary debates and technology. War films remember older war film cycles and draw upon the resources of the present day to say something new about the nature of war.

This book explores how each of these representational modes cemented different formulas for providing war stories with emotional content.
