| Synopsis: |
In the 20th century, every technologically advanced country has used propaganda to sell policies and programs to its citizens. In this five-volume series, David Culbert brings together documents that reflect the richness of American archives and suggest the central role film played in American wartime instruction as well as attempts to explain the meaning of the war to American soldiers and citizens. Emphasis is on unpublished material rather than actual film scripts or review of popular feature films of the era available elsewhere. Much of volume 3 is devoted to Frank Capra's seven-part "Why we fight" series, the statement of war aims made by the American government in World War II. Documents in volume 3 help reveal how the "Why we fight" series explains official war aims. Volume 3 also contains documentation about John Huston's "San Pietro" and "Let be Light", with information that makes untenable statments by Huston that have misled scholars for nearly forty years. This series includes letters, legal documents and memoranda for the war years.Citations at the head of each document supply name of the author, recipient, date sent and the collection from which the document is taken, providing a guide to further research. The volume is indexed by film title, name and subject. |
