This is an early work on cinema and the Vietnam War. The war itself ended but six years before publication. Adair's study, therefore, was one of the first to assess the body of cinematic work produced during the entirety of the war and soon thereafter. It ends with analyses of The Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now. But the large wave of Vietnam War related cinema that emerged in the 1980s and 1990s came to late for inclusion. On the other hand, Adair does great service in going back and picking up on early post World War II American films on Indochina, notably Saigon, Jump into Hell, and China Gate. Too, films in which the war figures as dramatic influence or background come into play, such as Taxi Driver and the cult film, Billy Jack. If there is one problem with Adair, it is that he is still too close to his subject matter in 1981. He is too engaged. And often times ends up being preachy or doctrinaire. Still, I can't think of a better volume of work that captures the response to these films during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
