China Beach: a book about a tv show about a war - Brad Dukes

Descriere China Beach: a book about a tv show about a war - Brad Dukes

In 2018, big and small screens brim with re-makes, sequels, and tentpole franchises. And yet, China Beach remains a true original, over thirty years removed from its 1988 broadcast premiere on the ABC network. No other TV series or film has followed a female in the Army Nurse Corps through the Vietnam War, and until now, no other book has documented the show's harrowing reflections of the real world.Following his internationally published Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks (2014), author Brad Dukes returns with China Beach: A Book About a TV Show About a War. The book accounts for Dukes's four-year journey documenting China Beach as he stands before the Vietnam War Veterans Memorial, interviews the cast, crew, and Vietnam veterans; then treks to Vietnam in search of what it all means.The book analyzes all four seasons of China Beach, and features interviews with series co- creators John Sacret Young and William Broyles Jr., along with nearly every cast member including Prime Time Emmy Award winners Dana Delany and Marg Helgenberger, Chloe Webb, Robert Picardo, Brian Wimmer, Michael Boatman, Nancy Giles, Concetta Tomei, Megan Gallagher, Christine Elise, Troy Evans, Jeff Kober, and Ricki Lake.A very special foreword begins the book, penned by writer and producer Carlton Cuse (Jack Ryan, Lost, Bates Motel, etc.)
