Title: Hollywood's war with Poland, 1939-1945
Description: "Examines the roots of Hollywood's negative stereotyping of Poland and Polish people during a turbulent era. Throughout World War II, Hollywood succumbed to a variety of forces pushing it toward a negative portrayal of Poland, such as support for the Roosevelt administration's geopolitical agenda. Drawing from numerous archival sources, Biskupski challenges the widely held belief that radicalism had little influence on film content, examining the strong sympathy for the Soviet Union among Hollywood radicals and the ethnic rivalries that influenced film production"--Jacket.
