5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent source and enjoyable reading
Since I am a fan of military films and war movies, I grabbed this book right away. I was pleased to see that the author included many details of each film in addition to production notes and trivia on many of them as well.

Informational But Not Compelling
Truthfully I was quite surprised by the somewhat wonkish aspect of this publication: More text is devoted to location/cast members than a film synopsis. Entries are comprehensive in terms of film titles but very wildly with respect to data -- some possessing bare minimum while others (such as Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom[!]) go on and on.

This review is from: The Encyclopedia of War Movies: The Authoritative Guide to Movies about Wars of the 20th-Century (The Facts on File Film Reference Library) (Hardcover)
Truthfully I was quite surprised by the somewhat wonkish aspect of this publication: More text is devoted to location/cast members than a film synopsis. Entries are comprehensive in terms of film titles but very wildly with respect to data -- some possessing bare minimum while others (such as Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom[!]) go on and on. And while I don't mind the identification of a film flub or two, there are films with upwards of forty flubs identified. Seriously, this is major wonk material -- of interest by and large to wonks only. I would only recommend this publication -- which I had high hopes for -- to those seeking specific types of information. N-e-x-t.
