Real War vs. Reel War: Veterans, Hollywood, and WWII

By Suzanne Broderick

Book Overview

In this book, World War II veterans compare their wartime experiences--as soldiers, pilots, "code talkers," and prisoners of war--to on-screen portrayals of the war in Hollywood films. In addition, two women--real life "Rosie the Riveters"--compare depictions of women and the home front at wartime with their experiences.
