This 1000 page all-text book collates complete descriptions of the well-known Vietnam films “Full Metal Jacket”, “The Deer Hunter”, “Apocalypse Now”, “Born on the Fourth of July”, “Hamburger Hill”, and “Platoon” into one intense volume. The films seem never to begin or end. Banner describes the films as though she is there, not influencing the plot, but always on set running along side the action.
