Within seventeen years of the first public broadcast in Britain,
the nation again found itself at war. As the Second World War
progressed, the BBC eventually realised the potential benefits of
public radio and the service became vital in keeping an anxious
public informed, upbeat and entertained behind the curtains of
millions of blacked-out homes. The Radio Front examines just how
the BBC reinvented itself and delivered its carefully controlled
propaganda to listeners in the UK and throughout Nazi-occupied
Europe. It also reveals the BBC's often-strained relationships with
the government, military and public as the organisation sought to
influence opinion and safeguard public morale without damaging its
growing reputation for objectivity and veracity. Using original
source material, historian and author Ron Bateman tracks the BBC's
growth during the Second World War from its unorganised and humble
beginnings to the development of a huge overseas and European
operation, and also evaluates the importance of iconic broadcasts
from the likes of J.B. Priestley, Vera Lynn and Tommy Handley.
