Product Information

The real story behind the war that the Allies and the Germans wanted to portray. The general assumption is that the Allies were the 'good guys' in WWII and always told the truth in their media coverage while the Nazis through their Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda deliberately misled their people. But to what extent is this borne out by the facts? Did the Allies always tell the truth? Did the Nazis always tell lies? How is it possible to tell the truth and still tell a lie? How did each side portray the bombing of the likes of Dresden and Coventry? By analysing Allied and German media reports this book unearths a number of surprising revelations as to which side actually told the truth. AUTHOR: Ian C Garden is a French/German Honours Graduate from St Andrews University who spent 27 years with Bank of Scotland before retiring in 2008. He has previously written 'The Third Reich's Celluloid War' (The History Press) and has become an acknowledged authority on war film propaganda. He gives regular lectures and classes to universities, clubs and local interest groups in the UK and abroad. SELLING POINTS: . For the first time using previously classified film and media archives, Ian Garden reveals how the media twisted the truth during the Second World War . Details the coverage of key events from Dieppe to D-Day, Arnhem to Stalingrad, exploring how film and newspapers told their own version of events . Reveals how the Allies were not always the heroes they portrayed themselves to be . Controversial look at how war reporting is a constant battle with the truth 60 b/w illustrations
