John Heyrman’s Politics, Hollywood Style: American Politics in Film from Mr. Smith to Selma is a brilliant review of films dealing with American politics since the Great Depression. . . . I would highly recommend this book to professors teaching about politics in film, as it covers both very popular and less well-known American political films. Students and scholars alike will find the content analysis of these films to be engaging and thought-provoking. This book is an excellent read.
