Summary
Details

""Broadcasting Vietnam"" offers a powerful and deeply human look at one of the most controversial wars in modern history and how it was brought into the living rooms of America. With an unflinching eye on the role of mass media, Davis Truman explores how televised images, frontline reporting, and photojournalism helped turn the tide of public opinion and fueled one of the most significant protest movements in U.S. history.

From the revolutionary leadership of Ho Chi Minh and the early days of conflict to the escalating American involvement and the devastating use of napalm and chemical weapons, this book chronicles the Vietnam War in vivid detail. Through chapters like ""Napalm Girl"" and ""War and Mass Media,"" Truman highlights the undeniable impact of iconic moments that shocked a nation and galvanized a generation.

Combining historical analysis with cultural insight, Truman also explores the long-term consequences of the war, including its profound impact on American society, politics, and public trust. This is not just a book about war. It's a story about how information, images, and voices changed the course of history.

Bold, gripping, and unflinchingly honest, Broadcasting Vietnam is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the power of media in shaping truth, perception, and resistance.
