Reviews

Deeply researched, smartly written, and admirably capacious, this engaging book spans a century without losing site of the fascinating people, films, and ideas that have shaped Britain’s view of itself and its place on the world stage. Scott Anthony brings both deep knowledge and a keen storyteller’s eye to this vital story of film’s enduring power to persuade. Let yourself be convinced that the history of British propaganda film is also an important history of Britain itself. -- Brian Jacobson, author of The Cinema of Extractions and Studios Before the System: Architecture, Technology, and the Emergence of Cinematic Space
