The Persian Gulf Tv War (Critical Studies in Communication and in the Cultural Industries)

Analysis of the mainstream media's (especially television's) portrayal of the war contrasted with alternative media which charges "distortions, disinformation and outright lies." Kellner (philosophy, U. of Texas, Austin) draws on social theory, media criticism, to "... debunk the version of the Gulf War presented on television and to situate the Gulf War within the broader context of US society and culture," (from the introduction).
