Description: "The 'Uncensored war' provides a deeply detailed avvount of what Americans read and watched about Vietnam. Hallin draws on the complete body of the New York times coverage from 1961 to 1965, on hundreds of televison reports from 1965-73, including television footage filmed by the Defense Department during the early years of the war, and on interviews with many of the journalists who reported the war, to give a powerful critique of the conventional wisdom, both conservative and liberal, about the media and Vietnam"--Dust jacket.
