An Army of Phantoms: American Movies and the Making of the Cold War

An Army of Phantoms: American Movies and the Making of the Cold War - J. Hoberman

An Army of Phantoms: American Movies and the Making of the Cold War


Acclaimed by the Los Angeles Review of Books as "the most detailed year-by-year look at Hollywood during the first decade of the Cold War ever published, one that takes film analysis beyond the screen and sets it in its larger political context," An Army of Phantoms is a "delightful" and "amazing" (Dissent) work of film history and cultural criticism by J. Hoberman, one of the foremost film critics writing today, addressing the dynamic synergy of American politics and American popular culture.

By "tell ing] the story not just of what's on the screen but what played out behind it" (The American Scholar), Hoberman orchestrates a colorful, sometimes surreal pageant wherein Cecil B. DeMille rubs shoulders with Douglas MacArthur, atomic tests are shown on live TV, God talks on the radio, and Joe McCarthy is bracketed with Marilyn Monroe. From cavalry Westerns, apocalyptic sci-fi flicks, and biblical spectaculars, movies to media events, congressional hearings and political campaigns, An Army of Phantoms "remind s] you what criticism is supposed to be: revelatory, reflective and as rapturous as the artwork itself" (Time Out New York).
