This new volume explores the history of an important, but neglected
sector of the Western Front between 1914 and 1918 in the context of
its portrayal in the media. The analysis sheds new light on of the
role of the mass media in generating national mythologies. The book
focuses on the largely forgotten Armentieres and La Bassee sector,
a section of the Western Front which saw fighting from many
different nationalities on almost every day of the war. Through
analysis of this section of the Western Front, this book examines
the way the First World War was interpreted, both in official and
semi-official sources as well as in the mass media, comparing what
was apparently happening on the Western Front battlefield to what
was reported in the newspapers. It follows the different sides as
they responded to the changing nature of warfare and to each other,
showing how reporting was adapted to changing perceptions of
national needs.
