Review
From reviews of previous Creation Cinema titles by Jack Hunter:

'This title jam-packed with information and fantastic still photos. Essential.' - Book Soup

'An important overview of the more extreme milestones in an often misunderstood field.' - Bizarre

'Another one of Creation's magnificent cinema books.' - Kinokaze

'Hunter sifts through a number of different genres and manages to find surprising commonalities which shed some light on an uncomfortably stigmatized field; dense and thought-provoking.' - Your Flesh

'An absolute must for the cult movie enthusiast. Creation do for cinema what Taschen did for art.' - 6Degrees

Book Description

From The Green Berets to Apocalypse Now and Platoon, the cinematic legacy of the Vietnam War is vast, intense and now, for the first time, is documented as a single genre, in one single volume.??

Search & Destroy contains illustrated essays covering over 300 movies, including documentaries. It examines some of the most controversial and psychotic characters in cinematic history, such as Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, Dennis Hopper in Tracks and Sylvester Stallone in First Blood. From the brutal field of combat, to the flashbacks and demons that followed, Search & Destroy examines the cult classics through to the most recent Vietnam movies, still breaking box-office records today.?
