On 1 September 1939, British television broadcasting was closed
down on Government orders, leaving radio as the sole source of
broadcast home entertainment. For the next six years the radio
became the main source of entertainment, information and news for
the majority of the population. Personalities and stars became
household names and their catchphrases could be heard everywhere.
Radio was also a tremendous vehicle for propaganda, and for sending
coded messages across Britain and later to resistance groups
throughout Europe. After the war TV would return, but in the
meantime the wireless ruled the air waves. The book is about
wireless in Britain in the Second World War, focusing mainly on the
BBC, but briefly looking at other broadcasters, such as Radio
Luxembourg and German broadcasts to Britain by Lord Haw Haw.
