Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Hitler and Goebbels all regarded cinema as their most important weapon for mass political propaganda. This revised and expanded edition of "Film Propaganda" examines the ways in which cinema was used for political purposes by two of the most highly politicised societies in twentieth-century European history. "Film Propaganda" is still to date the only book in English to compare these two cinemas and examine both in depth. Richard Taylor demonstrates how cinema was brought under political control in each country and goes on to explore the themes and stereotypes projected by the feature films that were produced. In so doing, he highlights the means used by the authorities to condition and control the filmgoer as individual spectator and as member of a mass audience. This process is examined in greater depth in a series of detailed analyses of films selected for their particular political significance, including "October", "Alexander Nevsky", "Triumph of the Will", "The Wandering Jew" and, new to this edition, the 1949 Stalin cult film, "The Fall of Berlin".Also new to this edition are appendices with details of films viewed by Hitler and Goebbels, which were captured by the Red Army from Berlin 's ruins in 1945 and were considered by Stalin for release during the film famine years after the war.

Boy has no idea what to expect when in 1956 the Royal Canadian Air Force has his family transferred from Winnipeg, Manitoba to No. 1 Fighter Wing, Marville, France, It is a remote North Atlantic Treaty Organization air force base in bombed-out fields from both World War 1 and WW 2, not far from Belgium. Rickey's father is a flying officer who moves the family into C-block, which is a small four-story high apartment for flying officers and flight-lieutenants. It is near other apartment blocks, which house other families according to rank. The higher the rank, the smaller the block and less-commissioned ranks share apartment blocks, which have many more units than the five in C-block. Rickey is adopted by fellows who are several years older and will soon be teenagers.They call themselves AIR FORCE BRATS and say that C-block needs a gang to fend off gangs materializing in the basements of other blocks. The Private Married Quarters have no phones, TVs or Military Police to keep the peace. The BRATS added Rickey to the gang to make it six-strong and more formidable. But the considerably smaller and more unaware he is about things like sex, profanity and what is cool, the more Rickey becomes the butt of jokes to amuse the other BRATS. He is also used as a "gofer" to fetch things for the other gang members. They all go to the Department of National Defense, (DND), school where kids, aged five go to kindergarten and pupils aged six to twelve are taught up to the eighth grade. High-school students are taken weekdays by bus to the base and returned to the PMQs at four o.clock in the afternoon.In desperation, Rickey shines up to Kenny, a tough guy in B-block, to protect him from the BRATS constantly teasing him or sending him on goose-chases. In July 1958, Rickey's family drives down to Calais to cross the English Channel and go camping in England and Scotland. Upon returning to the PMQs, Rickey goes to Kenny's B-block apartment and is startled to find a young couple with infants living there now. They didn't know who or where the previous tenants were. Rickey searches in a nearby granite canyon and the PMQs to no avail. He decides to ask his father Don for help and Don said the best thing to do is to find out something about where Kenny and his father, Herb, had disappeared. Then go to the MPs at the base with evidence that might indicate foul play had taken place. Kenny and his dad shared their apartment without a mother and wife. No neighbor was available to say that Kenny and Herb left the PMQs in their big Hudson car recently, Then Rickey discovers a footprint, which he is convinced belongs to Kenny's huge running shoes.Further investigation leads Rickey and Don to high barbed wire around a bunker or pillbox--left as it was after being hit by a grenade or tear gas thrown by German troops.Kenny told Rickey he has to get back to Canada to get away from a "beercolic" father who, while inebriated, was getting too intimate with Kenny. What the MPs, Rickey and his dad found in the bunker a sight too shocking to describe.Not long after, Rickey and his family were posted back to Canada. The 10-yeae-old boy finds himself involved with other traumas he kept to himself. More traumatic than the horror he saw in France..
