Terrorism in American Cinema : An Analytical Filmography, 1960-2008 Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The American cinema of terrorism, although coming to prominence primarily in the 1970s amidst high-profile Palestinian terrorist activity, actually dates back to the beginnings of the Cold War.

But this early terrorist cinema, centered largely around the Bomb - who had it, who would use it, and when - differs greatly from the terrorist cinema that would follow.

Changing world events soon broadened the cinema of terrorism to address emerging international conflicts, including Black September, pre - 9/11 Middle Eastern conflicts, and the post - 9/11 'War on Terror'.

This analytical filmography of American terrorist films establishes terrorist cinema as a unique subgenre with distinct thematic narrative and stylistic trends.

It covers all major American films dealing with terrorism, from Otto Preminger's ""Exodus"" (1960) to Ridley Scott's ""Body of Lies"" (2008).
