Oliver Stone's USA

"This book brings Stone face-to-face with some of his critics and supporters and allows Stone himself ample room to respond to their views. These writers critique Stone's most contested films to show how they may distort, amplify, or transcend the historical realities they appear to depict. Their essays enlarge our understanding of Stone's films, while also giving us a fuller appreciation of the filmmaker as artist and intellectual."--BOOK JACKET.
