Topics including gender, class, race, war, propaganda, national identity and memory all receive good coverage in what is an eclectic multi-contributor volume. Documentaries, films and television from Britain and the United States are examined and there is a jargon-free emphasis on the skills and methods needed to analyze films in historical study featuring prominently throughout the text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHistories on Screen\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital resource for all history students as it enables them to understand film as a source and empowers them with the analytical tools needed to use that knowledge in their own work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSam Edwards\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in American History at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.
