The Great War played an instrumental role in the development of cinema, so necessary was it to the mobilization efforts of the combatant nations. In turn, after the war, as memory began to fade, cinema continued to shape the wars legacy and eventually to determine the ways in which all warfare is imagined.The First World War and Popular Cinema provides fresh insight into the role of film as an historical and cultural tool. Through a comparative approach, essays by contributors from Europe, Australia, Canada, and the United States enrich our understanding of cinematic depictions of the Great War in particular and combat in general. New historical research on both the uses of propaganda and the development of national cinemas make this collection one of the first to show the ways in which film history can contribute to our study of national histories. The contributors to the volume monitor popular perceptions of the war, the reshaping of the wars legacy, and the evolution of cinematic clichs that are perpetuated in filmmaking through the century. Some of the films they discuss are All Quiet on the Western Front, Gallipoli, The Grand Illusion, The Big Parade, Battle of the Somme, JAccuse, Regeneration, and many more. The First World War and Popular Cinema is a vital addition to film studies and history, two fields only recently united in a productive way.

I was looking for a more visual experience in this book about WWI and cinema. Unfortunately, the writing didn't capture my attention, and I had some issues with the shipping too. It arrived a few days late, which didn't help my mood.

A fascinating historical perspective!
I bought 'The First World War and Popular Cinema' for my dad, who's a history buff. It really dives into how cinema portrayed the war over the decades, making it a great read! The images and film analyses are top-notch, and it sparked some great discussions at home.
