"Perhaps the most gratifying aspect of this anthology of new essays
on the films of Sam Peckinpah--apart from the value of the essays
themselves--lies in its demonstration that academic criticism of
this great American original remains high and in good hands:
serious, informed, aware, and committed."--Paul Seydor, author of
Peckinpah: The Western Films
"Sam Peckinpah's West is a useful contribution to the growing body
of books and criticism about the late, great Western
director."--Don Graham, author of Kings of Texas
