Extract

This article draws upon my experience using film and literature to teach political science majors and non-majors about war. It assesses the value of using films and literature to teach about war, offers organizing themes and approaches to the material, and discusses ways to help students develop their capacities to analyze the politics of war and of cultural products concerning war.The author thanks Joseph Yenerall for suggesting this article, and Judith Sanders, Lawrence Lieberfeld, and the reviewers of PS for help in its preparation.
