Operation Hollywood: How the Pentagon Shapes and Censors the Movies Paperback - 2004

by David L. Robb

Directors of war and action movies receive access to billions of dollars worth of military equipment and personnel, but it comes with a hidden cost. As a veteran Hollywood journalist shows, the final product is often not just what the director intends but also what the powers-that-be in the military want to project about America's armed forces.
