Review
"As we enter what is sure to be another era of contested claims of government control over freedom of speech...the alliance of big business, advertising, and wartime propaganda that Horten so convincingly illuminates takes on a heightened significance.... This is cautionary reading for our new century."
Product Description
This comprehensive volume looks in-depth at the role of domestic radio in the United States during World War II. By examining radio news programmes, government propaganda shows, advertising, soap opera and comedy programmes, it situates radio wartime propaganda in the shift from Depression-era resentment of big business to the consumer and corporate culture of the postwar period.
