Sinossi

Forgotten Blockbusters explores the intriguing phenomenon of commercially successful films that have faded from cultural memory. It investigates why some blockbusters endure while others, despite initial box office success, become forgotten footnotes in film history. The book argues that a film's legacy depends not only on artistic merit but also on its resonance with subsequent generations and adaptability to evolving cultural norms.

 
The book examines the initial context of a film's release, the evolution of audience tastes, and the mechanics of cultural memory. For instance, a film's societal, political, and economic climate can greatly influence its initial success. Forgotten Blockbusters challenges traditional film history by focusing on commercially successful yet overlooked films.

 
Beginning with a theoretical framework for understanding cinematic memory, the book presents detailed case studies of films from the 1970s to the 2000s, meticulously researched with box office data, reviews, and audience surveys. This approach provides a fresh perspective on the dynamics of cinematic success and failure, making it valuable for film enthusiasts, students, and anyone interested in popular culture.

    The stories of thirty war criminals who escaped accountability, from a historian praised for his “well written, scrupulously researched” work (The New York Times).   This deeply researched book traces the biographies of thirty “typical” perpetrators of the Holocaust—some well-known, some obscure—who survived World War II. Donald M. McKale reveals the shocking reality that the perpetrators were rarely, if ever, tried or punished for their crimes, and nearly all alleged their innocence in Germany’s extermination of nearly six million European Jews. He highlights the bitter contrasts between the comfortable postwar lives of many war criminals and the enduring suffering of their victims, and how, in the face of exhaustive evidence showing their culpability, nearly all claimed ignorance of what was going on—and insisted they had done nothing wrong.   “McKale ends the book with a haunting question: whether life would be different today if the Allies had pursued Holocaust criminals more aggressively after WWII. History buffs and students of the Holocaust will be fascinated.” ―Publishers Weekly   “Gripping and important reading.” —Eric A. Johnson, author of What We Knew

    The Inside Story of Ireland's Pandemic: Every Decision, Every Player, Every Text, Every Leak
    Ireland's lockdowns were among the harshest and longest in Europe. As the state was battered by waves of disease time and again, unparalleled pressures and untold tensions emerged as the country went to war with Covid, and policymakers and politicians did battle with each other.
    How were the key decisions made? Who held all the power?
    Boasting unrivalled access to the key decision-makers and drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews and thousands of pages of documents, including confidential and unpublished material, Pandemonium reveals the moves, the power-plays and the – at times jaw-dropping – tactics of a government with the health of a nation in its hands.
    'If a movie is ever made of how Ireland responded to the Covid-19 pandemic, Pandemonium may well provide the script … You will feel as if you were in the room when key conversations happened and decisions were made.' Professor Luke O'Neill
    'Illuminates the corners of institutions usually able to operate in the dark' Fintan O'Toole
