If you have any interest in radio drama - any interest in wartime broadcasting - there is no better sourcebook than this. Modern media lacks soul. These people cared because they were there, they witnessed, they took part. I had read this book before, but I just had to own a copy. Accessible, highly readable and downright indispensible.
