In addition to examining her most famous wartime works, \u003ci\u003eTriumph of the Will\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOlympia\u003c\/i\u003e, the author also investigates her less recognized \u003ci\u003eTiefland\u003c\/i\u003e, her unrealized film projects, and her African and underwater films. David B. Hinton drew on recent interviews with the filmmaker to update this edition.
