Oscar Micheaux and His Circle: African-American Filmmaking and Race Cinema of the Silent Era
The title of this book is completely accurate, yet really doesn't convey the flavor of the contents. Winn shows how some poets used their poems to question basic assumptions behind war while others used "pro-war" ideals such as honor, chivalry, and patriotism to romanticize war and deny its brutality. You don't have to be a poetry expert to understand this book and it may give you a fresh perspective on current wars.
