Features: The 20th century was a world full of war, and human communication methods also developed to an unprecedented level. Radio, newspapers, television, and the internet drew people into the war. But is the true nature of war really what we see and hear from the media? Can the media truly intervene in war without hindering the military or leaking secrets while still providing thorough coverage? Can the media remain neutral and objective during wartime? Is wartime news censorship deliberately manufacturing news? If the military controls media reporting, how much credibility does wartime news still have? Is the media calling for peace or inciting war? The two World Wars, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War, the Kosovo Crisis, and other world-ending conflicts that brought great disasters and profound impacts to humanity are all vividly described in this book. This book will tell you that war may not be what you see.
