Sources:
Otherwise, details are extracted from the Internet Movie Database.
Sources beyond the IMDb should be cited. Lack of citation implies an IMDb source.

Lesser details on the book titles, such as original publication date, may have come from a readily accessible Internet source, and may not be totally reliable.

"War Books":
This has been interpreted broadly to indicate an earlier published source of some kind. That could be an article or a poem or a cartoon. In the case of "La Retour de Martin Guerre", the consulting historian on the film (N.Z. Davis) published her book '''after''' the film's release, so she is actually the film's source rather than her book, per se. Possibly her unpublished manuscript was the source.

General note:
The term '''Frequently filmed''', when used below, indicates more than simply an original film and a remake. It means at least three film (or television) versions. These versions may include lost silent, or early sound, films. The purpose is to indicate an unusually popular source book.

Wars included:
Wars of the past four centuries are fairly well represented, at least those occurring in Western Europe and North America. Earlier wars are covered sporadically.
In some cases, no film is listed for a specific war. This generally indicates one of two possibilities:
1) There are films about the conflict, e.g. the Lower Canada Rebellions of 1837 and 1838, but no film that happens to cite a book as its primary source. (If an uncredited source is known to exist, '''please provide it'''. '''Thanks.''') If this is the case, there may be film titles listed in a comment field for those who choose to edit this page.
2) No film about the conflict exists in English, but there is some likelihood (editor's instinct) that the war has been documented in another language.
(Dano-Prussian War: The editor recalls a mention of a film during a 1987 visit to Denmark.)

Where effort is still required:
Unfortunately, to a large degree, the content of this page stems from the editor's recollections of films he has actually seen. It is possible to do systematic keyword searches of the IMDb for titles, but those films have been annotated by film fans, not historians, and the historical elements can be very poorly documented indeed.

Historical wars of Asia, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa are under-represented here.
It is this editor's opinion that film titles for the first two regions definitely exist to be found, but that films found will probably be based on original screenplays, and few books will be cited to be fully listed here.
Films about sub-Saharan Africa do exist. The Nazis made at least two lesser known ones, for example. The domestic film industry in Africa is maturing. Hopefully they will be able to document their own history more thoroughly and reliably at some point in the future.

Spelling:
This article uses Canadian spelling, which usually, but not always, is the same as British spelling.
