Reporting the war : freedom of the press from the American revolution to the War on terrorism by John Byrne Cooke
"Cooke gives an excellent, incisive commentary on how freedom of the press in the U.S., from the time of the 13 colonies on, has played out in times of war...A timely study, Cooke's history presents the fifth estate in all its conflicted glory: a power that ensures accountability and the visibility of a loyal opposition just as easily as it vilifies individuals and manipulates the conscience of America." - Publishers Weekly
