The military and the press : an uneasy truce
"Because news is a weapon of war - affecting public opinion, troop morale, even strategy - for more than a century America's wartime officials have sought to control or influence the press, most recently by "embedding" reporters within military units in Iraq. This second front, where press freedom and military imperatives often do battle, is the territory explored in The Military and the Press, a timely look at how press-military relations have evolved during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in response to the demands of politics, economics, technology, and legal and social forces."--Jacket
