Sources:
Detailed information on these films is often available within Wikipedia (in English or in other languages). Otherwise, details are extracted from the Internet Movie Database.
In cases of conflict, Wikipedia is normally given precedence over the IMDb.
Sources beyond the IMDb should be cited. Lack of citation implies an IMDb source.
(Where relevant, a foreign language Wikipedia article can take precedence over the English one.)

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 Possibly her unpublished manuscript was the source.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.

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.
This is in keeping with a general attempt to escape the conventional Anglo-American focus for any article of this type.

{{Lists of book-based war films}}
This is a '''list of films based on military books in peacetime'''.

Since it only deals with preparation for conflict, this page is not organized chronologically by war, as the other pages are.<br />
This page is organized by military mission, and by armed service.
