The Hollywood History of the W

Novelist, screenwriter, and historian George MacDonald Fraser has written a unique and fascinating survey of how the cinema has portrayed the history of the world. In The HOllywood History of the World, Fraser has divided history into The Seven Ages of Hollywood- from the Ancient World and Tudors and Sea-Dogs to Romance and Royalty and The Violent Century-- and shows how, contrary to popular belief, the movies have given us a clear-eyed look at past world events with a scope and perspective not possible in any other medium.
