Guts and Glory: The Making of the American Military Image in Film is the definitive study of the symbiotic relationship between the film industry and the United States armed services. Since the first edition was published nearly two decades ago, the nation has experienced several wars, both on the battlefield and in movie theatres and living rooms at home. Now, author Lawrence Suid has extensively revised and expanded his classic history of the mutual exploitation of the film industry and the military, exploring how Hollywood has reflected and effected changes in America's image of its armed services. He offers in-depth looks at such classic films as Wings, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, The Longest Day, Patton, Top Gun, An Officer and a Gentleman, and Saving Private Ryan, as well as the controversial war movies The Green Berets, M*A*S*H, the Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, and Born on the Fourth of July.
After our nation slogged its way through the Great Depression came an era identified with bobby sox, charm bracelets, crooners and front windows proudly displaying service flags. The citizens of King’s Mills gave their patriotic all to the war effort while they prayed for peace. Hope Royer had been a surprise to her almost middle-aged parents who were barely surviving the depression, but she was nevertheless happily welcomed by them and her older siblings. World War II called Hope’s adored brother Ted from the Senior Class. By the time she was almost into her teens and had become a graceful and slender beauty, David Bonner entered her life and the pair became inseparable. When the two of them weren’t playing croquet, they shared Cokes at the local drugstore or sang songs they had learned at their summer camps and kept Hope’s porch swing creaking through heavenly summer evenings. As Hope neared her 13th birthday, her bliss was shattered by major blows: David’s father was transferred out of state and the death of the Royers’ beloved landlady forced the sale of the only home Hope had ever known. Could she find a way to cope and go on?
Each of these 52 brief meditations on hope begins with a quote, a graphic symbol of hope, a few sentences of interpretation of that symbol, and then the meditation. Includes space after each meditation for journaling.
