This book, first published in 1979, is an analysis of the wartime
Ministry of Information, responsible for the maintenance of public
morale. How was it that British morale remained high, yet the
department responsible was so bad? This book examines the domestic
work of the Ministry and offers an unprecedented insight into the
mind of both government and people during the war. It answers key
questions: How did a government department assess and set about
maintaining morale? How did it handle the social and political
questions associated with morale - post-war social reform, press
freedom and censorship, the nature of the Soviet regime? How sound
in fact was civilian morale, on the basis of the secret Wartime
Intelligence reports then available? One of the most fascinating
aspects of this book is the Ministry's constant internal debate on
how its responsibilities should best be carried out. It is a key
work of research on the political, psychological and mass
communications problems facing a society at war.
