Auntie’s War: The BBC During the Second World War

Description

Following the BBC’s wartime journey, Edward Stourton is a brilliant companion, sharp-eyed, wry and affectionate while investigating archives, diaries, letters and memoirs to examine what the BBC was and what it stood for. Recounting extraordinary stories and priceless anecdotes he has written much more than a portrait of a beloved institution at a critical time. ‘Auntie’s War’ provides a vivid new perspective on the war; it also offers an incomparable insight into the broadcasting culture we still have today.
