History by Hollywood The Use and Abuse of the American Past
A collection of essays from the Journal of American History's film critic, laying out the process by which movies like Mississippi Burning, JFK, Norma Rae and Missing constructed productions out of real events, with detailed background on how real people and events were altered for dramatic effect--and more importantly, why those decisions were made.
