Seller's Description:
Good. Slightly cocked. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Volume 1 ONLY. Illustrations. xxxvii, [1], 740, [6] p. Footnotes. Introduction by Leonard R. Sussman. Includes a Public Opinion Analysis by Burns W. Roper. From Wikipedia: "Peter Braestrup (1929 10 August 1997) was a correspondent for The New York Times and The Washington Post, founding editor of the Wilson Quarterly, and later senior editor and director of communications for the Library of Congress. Retiring from journalism in 1973, he founded the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars' Wilson Quarterly, and in 1989 moved to the Library of Congress. Braestrup's 1977 Freedom House-sponsored book, the two-volume Big Story, criticized US media coverage of the Vietnam War's 1968 Tet Offensive. The book, which argued that the media coverage of the offensive was excessively negative and helped lose the war, "is regularly cited by historians as the standard work on media reporting of the Tet offensive"

Volume II: x, Appendixes, Tables, Story Indexes, Picture Indexes, 706 pp. Clean, unmarked copy...A fascinating study of how the Vietnam War was presented to the U. S. public by the media. Descriptions of "herd journalism", "portentous journalism" and "projection journalism"; and the way in which the "Big Story" always took precedence over "routine developments" in the war. With an analysis of perception versus reality in the coverage of the Tet offensive; specifically, the misperceptions concerning the attack on the U. S. Embassy compound in Saigon. An important source for students of journalism and for any thinking person interested in the way war is presented by the media...will not fit in priority envelope.
