News from the Front: War Correspondents on the Western Front 1914-18

Tells the story of how war correspondents went from outlaw status at the beginning of WWI to full integration into the British wartime propaganda process, voluntarily censoring their stories for military authorities and misleading the English public about the massive casualties being suffered in Ypres, the Somme, and Passchendaele. Focuses particularly on the work of five men who became accredited to the British General Headquarters: William Beach Thomas, Philip Gibbs, Percival Phillips, Perry Robinson, and Herbert Russell.
