Douglas Kellner, UCLA; author of Media Culture and Media Spectacle and the Crisis of Democracy, From The Foreword
«...Provides carefully documented analysis, in chapters that stand both as self-contained studies and as building blocks in a multifaceted explanation as to how the media and public culture prepared the American public for the untested policy of so-called preventive war.»
