Koppes, Clayton R, and Gregory D. Black. Hollywood Goes to War: How Politics, Profits, and Propaganda Shaped World War II Movies. New York: Free Press, 1987.
Clayton Koppes and Gregory Black, in their book Hollywood Goes to War: How Politics, Profits, and Propaganda Shaped World War II Movies, suggests that Hollywood and the American government played an instrumental role in inspiring the general public to get involved in the resistance to the Axis forces, through a form of public propaganda. Koppes and Black developed and supported this idea by displaying certain people, groups, movies, and events to help describe the timeline of propaganda and how it changed throughout the war. Their purpose is to help people understand how the government and the movie industry censored and manipulated certain films to have a romanticized view of anti-Nazi sentiments in order to display the huge influence the movie industry had. The book targets the general public, specifically people who want to know more about Hollywood’s impact on World War II.
