He is also a polemicist with a liberal perspective who is making films about recent U. S. HIstory and culture. That Stone is a successful mainstream filmmaker with an overtly leftist agenda seems surprising, if not counterintuitive, given the history of political filmmaking in Hollywood and conventional wisdom's understanding of the mass media appetite of most Americans. This book is an attempt to account for Stone's success as a filmmaker, to critique his major films, and to place them inside the tradition of political filmmaking in Hollywood".
