The September 11th attacks in 2001 and the subsequent 'War on Terror' have had a profound effect on American cinema, and the contemporary Western is no exception. In this book, John White explores how films such as Open Range, True Grit and Jane Got a Gun reinforce a conservative myth of America exceptionalism; endorsing the use of extreme force in dealing with enemies and highlighting the importance of defending the homeland. Placing their characters within a dark world of confusion and horror, these films reflect the United States' post-9/11 uncertainties, and the conflict between civilised values and the brutality employed to defend them.

One moment Wesley, Kurt and Lisa are poking around in their uncle's attic. The next they have stepped into the magical world of Anthropos, where their help is needed to free a king and defeat powers of evil. Book 3 in John White's Archives of Anthropos.
