Sub-titled The Press and the People 1939-1945, this is both timely and important history of journalism. The author examines the role of newspaper journalism in shaping public opiniion as well as government policy. It challenges the idea that newspapers of the time were mere mouthpieces of state propaganda. For example, there was intense criticism of the carpet bombing of German cities, scant provision of air raid shelters and racial discrimination among American forces based in Britain. This was a reminder that freedom means a press which serves its readers not their rulers. Radical and inspirational. Iconic front cover illustrating Waterloo Station. Condition very good, tightly bound, no damage.
