The decisive role of Britain's wartime newspaper journalism in
shaping public opinion and government policy has been majorly
overlooked. Much of the existing historiography has framed
Britain's newspapers as mouthpieces of state propaganda, readily
conforming to the wishes of the wartime coalition. Tim Luckhurst
challenges this through an analysis of illuminating and largely
forgotten controversies which underscore the function the press
held as guardians of democracy and propagators of dissenting
opinion in British politics and society - from the overseas
evacuation of children to the Allies' carpet bombing of German
cities. Reporting the Second World War is a timely and important
intervention that duly recognises the place of national, regional
and specialist titles in speaking truth to power in a democracy at
war.
