In his continuing effort to promote an underutilized visual resource of historically important film treasures, Mr. Stewart shares his research into the motion pictures of twentieth century warfare held in the film vault of the National Archives.
According to the author, "WARFILMS is a synopsis, a summary, an abbreviated finding aid of the 119,000-plus reels of historic motion picture film produced, acquired, or captured by twentieth century American armed forces that are located within the 35 military Record Groups at the United States National Archives and Records Administration facility in College Park, Maryland. Now that's a bit of a run-on sentence, but it's a very accurate description of this book."
While WARFILMS does not try to list all military films in the National Archives, it does identify and describe over 350 of them. The goal is to pique the readers' interest so that they will explore the additional thousands of historic military titles on their own. Mr. Stewart provides guidance as how to do that.
