Trade Review
"The most exhilarating work of revisionist film history since Pauline Kael's 'Citizen Kane'... It's been a long time since the world of film has received as invigoratingly coherent an overview as May's." - Jay Carr, Boston Globe "One of the best books ever written about the movies." - Tom Ryan, The Age "A startling, revisionist history of Hollywood's impact on politics and American culture.... A convincing and important addition to American cultural criticism." - Publishers Weekly
