This book offers fresh research and insights into the complex
relationship between the press, war, and society in the 20th
century, by examining the role of the newspaper press in the period
c.1900- 1960, with a particular focus on the Second World War.
During the warfare of the 20th century, the mass media were used to
sustain domestic morale and promote combatants' views to an
international audience. Topics covered in this book include British
newspaper cartoonists' coverage of the Russo- Japanese War, the
role of the French press in Anglo- French diplomacy in the 1930s,
Irish press coverage of Dunkirk and D- Day, government censorship
of the press in wartime Portugal, the reporting of American troops
in North Africa, and how the Greek press became the focus of
British government propaganda in the 1940s. Particular attention is
given to the role of the British press in the Second World War: its
coverage of evacuation, popular politics, and D- Day; the war as
seen through commercial press advertising; the wartime Daily
Mirror; and Fleet Street's role as a 'national' press in wartime.
This book explores how- and why- newspapers have presented wars to
their readers, and the importance of the press as an agent of
social and political power in an age of conflict. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Media History.
