During the Gulf war, news of the conflict was virtually
harnessed by the American-led alliance. Yet, when U.S. soldiers
moved on Somalia without resistance, their landing was lent a
surreal quality by hordes of journalists filming their every
maneuver. In this age of instant communication, wars are often
defined by their coverage, as with Vietnam; yet the symbiosis
between warriors and journalists has a long history.
War and the Media provides a sweeping overview of how the media
has covered international conflicts in this century. Devoting each
of the book's twelve chapters to a particular conflict, from the
world wars to Vietnam, the Falklands, the Gulf War, and the
Balkans, Miles Hudson and John Stanier here trace the evolution of
the often contentious and always dramatic role of the media in
twentieth-century military campaigns.
