Recenzii
This is a fabulous, illuminating and much-needed book, revealing the long and complex Burma Campaign through the previously unexplored lens of those in the media who at the time wished to tell its story, and those in authority who wanted to control what was said, and how.
Woods has written a fine book. Meticulously researched and cogently argued, it is a must read for anyone interested in the Second World War and military-media relations.
This unique study of the media dimensions of the Burma campaign adds enormous value, employing original material to explain reportage from defeat to eventual triumph. It describes constraints on journalists and political considerations shaping their access on the ground, and the use of the media for morale purposes among imperial troops.
Philip Woods is one of the finest media historians of his generation. His brilliant book is delicately balanced, elegant, penetrating and meticulously researched. Woods holds to account squabbling politicians, journalists, propagandists, army generals and private soldiers. His saga of truth, lies, and the fog of war has become highly topical.
