Freedman,Foreign Affairs"War Stories. . . makes an invaluable contribution to several literatures--politician-journalist interactions, news production, public reactions to news, foreign policymaking, and the new media. ThatWar Storieshas so much to say about so many important topics is a remarkable achievement. I learned much from this thoughtful study. It changed my thinking about a number of topics, and I recommend it to those interested in news production, communications research, public opinion, and policymaking."--Jeffrey E. Cohen,Public Opinion Quarterly"If you're studying American foreign policy, or American media, this is an essential book that will only provide detailed arguments and information backed up by a wealth of evidence. I have no doubt that researchers will also find inspiration for further studies from some of these sections."--Stefan Fergus,Civilian Reader"[S]cientific, meticulous, and nuanced."--David L.
