"Comprehensively researched, thoughtfully communicated, and supported by a wealth of sources and high quality images, Hollywood Victory serves as a premier authority on Hollywood’s unprecedented alliance with the U.S. government and involvement in World War II."—The Conskipper Review

"Author Christian Blauvelt puts together an intelligent and savvy history of the period which breaks new ground. He steps out from behind telling the same stories about the same movies and provides some of the historical context which has lacked over the passage of time. "—JourneysInClassicFilm.com

"Hollywood Victory looks at the industry’s contributions to the war effort through a wide lens. "—Shepherd Express

“Blauvelt's book is a well-researched and heavily illustrated account of those years in the movie business. He takes the stories told in dozens of other histories and memoirs and synthesizes them into a coherent and easy-to-follow narrative about the war years.”
 —Military.com

"Hollywood Victory by Christian Blauvelt is nothing short of breakthrough story telling-with a highly perceptive concept and design. It is chuck full of an [amassive] amount of trivia and historical information along with some immersive insight as to what went on in front and behind the scenes of Hollywood during a country and it’s allies-our allies at war."—Chris Nersinger

"Blauvelt has done a seamless job of weaving all of these vignettes of Hollywood history into a cohesive and informative package. Or to put it in 1940s lingo, this book is just swell."—Newsday
