Sinopsis

Western Front examines the extensive history of U.S. foreign policy within the Western Hemisphere, highlighting conflicts, military interventions, and diplomatic strategies that have shaped the region and the United States itself. A key focus is the enduring tension between promoting U.S. strategic interests and fostering regional stability, a balance often disrupted by unintended consequences. The book analyzes the evolution from the Monroe Doctrine through the Cold War and the War on Drugs, alongside diplomatic efforts such as treaties and trade agreements, offering a crucial understanding of contemporary geopolitical dynamics.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with early U.S. expansionism and its impact on indigenous populations and newly independent Latin American nations. Subsequent chapters explore specific periods and events, including the Spanish-American War and the Good Neighbor Policy. By using both primary and secondary sources, including declassified documents and military reports, Western Front provides a holistic perspective on U.S. foreign policy, making it valuable for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding U.S. foreign relations.

    It is often claimed that the French invented cinema. Dominating the production and distribution of cinema until WWI, when they were supplanted by Hollywood, the French cinema industry encompassed all genres, from popular entertainment to avant-garde practice. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction opens up French cinema through focusing on some of its most notable works, using the lens of the New Wave decade (1958-1968) that changed cinema worldwide. Exploring the entire French cinematic oeuvre, Dudley Andrew teases out distinguishing themes, tendencies, and lineages, to bring what is most crucial about French Cinema into alignment. He discusses how style has shaped the look of female stars and film form alike, analyzing the "made up" aesthetic of many films, and the paradoxical penchant for French cinema to cruelly unmask surface beauty in quests for authenticity. Discussing how French cinema as a whole pits strong-willed characters against auteurs with high-minded ideas of film art, funded by French cinema's close rapport to literature, painting, and music, Dudley considers how the New Wave emerged from these struggles, becoming an emblem of ambition for cinema that persists today. He goes on to show how the values promulgated by the New Wave directors brought the three decades that preceded it into focus, and explores the deep resonance of those values today.
