English | 2002 | ISBN: 0521809649, 0521007259 | 272 pages | PDF | 2.5 MB

In a fast-moving and incisive narrative, Roger Buckley traces the evolution of the Asia-Pacific region from the surrender of Japan in 1945 to the present day. His perspective is from that of the United States, the main player in the region since the end of the First World War and he explores its policies through its relationship with the Soviet Union, China and, importantly, with Japan during occupation and beyond. As an expert in international relations, Buckley examines the subject from a geopolitical and military point of view.

Final Cut: Art, Money, and Ego in the Making of Heaven"s Gate, the Film that Sank United Artists

Steven Bach, "Final Cut: Art, Money, and Ego in the Making of Heaven"s Gate, the Film that Sank United Artists"


1999 | ISBN: 1557043744 | 432 pages | EPUB | 0,6 MB

Heaven"s Gate is probably the most discussed, least seen film in modern movie history. Its notoriety is so great that its title has become a generic term for disaster, for ego run rampant, for epic mismanagement, for wanton extravagance. It was also the film that brought down one of Hollywood’s major studios—United Artists, the company founded in 1919 by Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, D. W. Griffith, and Charlie Chaplin. Steven Bach was senior vice president and head of worldwide production for United Artists at the time of the filming of Heaven"s Gate, and apart from the director and producer, the only person to witness the film’s evolution from beginning to end. Combining wit, extraordinary anecdotes, and historical perspective, he has produced a landmark book on Hollywood and its people, and in so doing, tells a story of human absurdity that would have made Chaplin proud.
