Celluloid Soldiers : The Warner Bros. Campaign Against Nazism, Hardback Book

Celluloid Soldiers : The Warner Bros. Campaign Against Nazism Hardback

Hardback

Description

During the 1930s many Americans avoided thinking about war erupting in Europe, believing it of little relevance to their own lives.

Yet, the Warner Bros. film studio embarked on a virtual crusade to alert Americans to the growing menace of Nazism. Polish-Jewish immigrants Harry and Jack Warner risked both reputation and fortune to inform the American public of the insidious threat Hitler's regime posed throughout the world.

Through a score of films produced during the 1930s and early 1940s-including the pivotal Sergeant York-the Warner Bros. studio marshaled its forces to influence the American conscience and push toward intervention in World War II. Celluloid Soldiers offers a compelling historical look at Warner Bros.'s efforts as the only major studio to promote anti-Nazi activity before the outbreak of the Second World War.
