Editorial Reviews
Review
Praise for the First Edition:”This history of the representation of the JFK assassination makes a terrific contribution to film studies and indeed to cultural studies generally. Moving with wit and erudition across political history, avant-garde film, serigraphy, journalism, and mass-market film, Simon transcends the banalities of the high culture/low culture binary to produce a study of exemplary range and insight.” —David E. James, School of Cinema-Television, University of Southern California
