An important contribution to Cold War History

Falling into Theory: Conflicting Views on Reading Literature
David H. Richter

Bedford/St. Martin's, 1999

Solid theory reference

American Films of the 70s: Conflicting Visions
Peter Lev

University of Texas Press, 2000

While the anti-establishment rebels of 1969's Easy Rider were morphing into the nostalgic yuppies of 1983's The Big Chill, Seventies movies brought us everything from killer sharks, blaxploitation, and disco musicals to a loving look at General George S. Patton. Indeed, as Peter Lev persuasively argues in this book, the films of the 1970s ...

The Emancipation Proclamation: Three Views (Conflicting Worlds: New Dimensions of the American Civil War)
Harold Holzer, Edna Greene Medford, ...

Territorial Rights (Law and Philosophy Library)
Tamar Meisels
