Unreliable sources : how the 20th century was reported / John Simpson.

Originally published: London: Macmillan, 2010.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

From the young Churchill on the Boer War to the creation of the Daily Mail, from the coverage of two world wars to Suez, from the Sun's propping up the Thatcher government ... Simpson offers an engaging and astute account of the British press at its best - and, sometimes, at its worst.
