N2  - This lavishly illustrated coffee-table volume, originally published in 1974 by Hamlyn (and Citadel Press in the U.S.), surveys hundreds of war-themed films from the silent era through the early 1970s. It explores how cinema portrayed different wars—World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the dawn of Vietnam War films—across international markets. Through stills, posters, captions, and contextual commentary, Jeavons examines:

Cinematic techniques and stylistic innovations in representing conflict

The social and political environment shaping each film

Audience reactions and the evolving reception of war movies

Compiled during a lull in war-movie production of the 1970s, the book remains a rich visual catalog of predominantly WWII and WWI cinema, with select Korean and early Vietnam War coverage .
