Analyzing films across the decades, from the 1910s to 2000s, German Ways of War addresses an important lacuna in media studies: while scholars have tended to focus on the similarities between cinematic looking and weaponized targeting -- between shooting a camera and discharging a gun - this book argues that war films negotiate spaces throughout that frame their violence in ways more revealing than their battle scenes.
