Spaghetti westerns : cowboys and Europeans from Karl May to Sergio Leone

"Christopher Frayling's Spaghetti Westerns is a particularly entertaining and enjoyably readable book. Frayling is obviously both a film buff and film critic, so he is able to appreciate Spaghetti Westerns as popular entertainments, to celebrate their cinematic stylishness, while simultaneously knowledgeably exploring their many social and political dimensions." - Gary Crowdus, Cineaste "Unquestionably the single best book written about the Western." - Journal of Popular Film and Television
