Description
This timely volume explores prevailing ideas of the 'threat' to homeland USA that are put forward by the national security network, a threat that is seen as the justification for and legitimization of America's military operations and strategic choices. Valantin reveals how in the last 20 years, there has been a consistent collaboration between the US Department of Defense and Hollywood film studios.
A concerned investigation into cinematic representations of American military strategy and foreign policy.
