Description
Focusing on the civilian Office of Censorship and Censorship Director Byron Price, Sweeney traces the development of news media censorship from a pressing necessity after the attack on Pearl Harbor to the centralized yet efficient bureaucracy that persuaded thousands of journalists to censor themselves for the sake of national security.
