Since the 1960s, and culminating in the Gulf conflict of last year, television has come to play an ever more decisive role in the preparation and planning, as well as in the execution, of war. It is said that the Vietnam war was lost in American living rooms; and more recently, that the Gulf war was won there. In this highly readable new book, Bruce Cumings studies the history of television's coverage of US warmaking since World War II.

Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. Inscribed to Max [Holland, noted author/researcher]. viii, 309, [2] p. : Illustrations. Notes. Index. This is one of the Haymarket series. Since the 1960s, and culminating in the Gulf conflict of last year, television has come to play an ever more decisive role in the preparation and planning, as well as in the execution, of war. It is said that the Vietnam war was lost in American living rooms; and more recently, that the Gulf war was won there. In this highly readable new book, Bruce Cumings studies the history of television's coverage of US warmaking since World War II. Cumings' own experience in the production of a Thames Television film "Korea: The Unknown War" and his difficulties getting the programme aired on American public television, tell a story of struggle with an array of media executives, retired soldiers, bureaucrats from both Koreas, and assorted public figures. Cumings shows how his film was shaped by media people on both sides of the Atlantic to conform to prevailing views of a war that neither the United States nor Britain wishes to remember accurately.
