From action flicks to biopics to SNL skits, how presidents are portrayed on screen: âAn interesting study of the real presidency and the reel presidency.â âUSA Today Magazine  Winner of the Popular Culture Associationâs Ray and Pat Browne Book Award  Whether serious or satirical, biographical or fictional, the ways that US presidents are depicted in popular culture reveal much about us as a nation. The contributors to Hollywoodâs White House examine the historical accuracy of presidential depictions, illuminate their influence, and uncover how they reflect the concerns of their times and the social and political visions of the filmmakers. With reflections on portrayals of Washington, Adams, Lincoln, FDR, Nixon, and more, this volume, which includes a comprehensive filmography and a bibliography, is ideal for both historians and film enthusiasts.  âAn engaging collection.â âRobert Brent Toplin, author of Reel History: In Defense of Hollywood |
