J. Hoberman is senior film critic at the Village Voice and writes for the New York Times and other publications. His previous books include Entertaining America (with Jeffrey Shandler), The Red Atlantis, Bridge of Light, and Vulgar Modernism.
"The way Hoberman relates the cinema of the 1960s to its historical context is illuminating. And in a month when Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected governor of California after an election campaign high on cimematic spectacle and low on policy, this book's view of Hollywood and Washington as twinned centres of power has become all the more resonant." -The Financial Times; "So invigorating that I had to ration myself to a chapter a week." -The Guardian; "Full of intelligence." -Sight & Sound; "His analysis of the political architecture of films such as Bonnie and Clyde and the Wild Bunch is revealing." -The Independent"
