New article/ book discusses the politics of Charlie Wilson's War
Here's my recent article that mentions the film: www.chortle.co.uk/correspondents/2010/08/03/11493/why_hollywood_comedies_have_no_bite
There's much more detail on this film and many others in 'Reel Power: Hollywood Cinema and American Supremacy' (Pluto Press, 2010), available here in paperback: www.amazon.co.uk/Reel-Power-Hollywood-American-Supremacy/dp/0745329829
