One way to analyze the intensely conflicting feelings Americans hold toward the Vietnam War is to see how the war has been portrayed through film. How the War Was Remembered is the first book to analyze Vietnam War films, beginning with China Gate and ending with Hamburger Hill. Auster and Quart create a typology of these films based on their connection to sociohistorical currents such as the "Wounded Hero, " "Superman, " "Hunter/Hero, " and "Survivor." They also combine aesthetic analysis with a social, cultural and historical critique.
