<div>In this widely-acclaimed volume, some of our greatest historians address the facts—and fiction—as seen in Hollywood's often epic recreations of historical events. Distinghuished historians such as Stephen Ambrose, Antonia Fraser, James McPherson, Gerda Lerner, Dee Brown, Frances FitzGerald, David Levering Lewis, and Simon Schama explore the relationship between film and the historical record. Offering hundreds of movie stills, archival photographs, maps, and other illustrations, along with sidebars on related historical events, <i>Past Imperfect </i>sheds new light on the uses of history in popular culture.<br></div>
