History through Film: Volume II

Ideally suited for teachers wanting to use film in the classroom, students needing to separate fact from fiction, or those yearning to know more about the world presented on screen, History through Film: Volume II will uncover even more of the past that inspired the directors, and even give you the skills to know the trademark "tricks" filmmakers use to alter history. This anthology of 24 film reviews includes such film classics as Sound of Music, Schindler's List, and Titanic, while also looking at such recent hits as Charlie Wilson's War, Kite Runner, Letters from Iwo Jima, and Team America: World Police. Each film analysis will provide a brief synopsis, DVD counter reference for key historical scenes, background information of era/event, detailed analysis of historical accuracy and key quotes from the film.
