Summary: During World War I, while the energies of the European powers were directed elsewhere, the American film industry achieved a dominance in the world market which it has never lost. After the war the European countries adopted a variety of strategies to try to claw back the markets they had surrendered, but by the end of the 20s, Hollywood was too entrenched even for the language differences in the new talking pictures to dent its control. This book assembles a mass of information from previously unexplored sources to show how and why Hollywood has become practically synonymous with popular cinema. (Font: Editor)
