" How the truth of what was happening on the Western Front was denied to the British public, who instead were fed a diet of dictated sanitized propaganda by the accredited war correspondents' reports. The book focuses in particular on the work of five men who became accredited to the British General Headquarters: William Beach Thomas, Philip Gibbs, Percival Phillips, Perry Robinson and Herbert Russell. Using a wide range of contemporary newspaper extracts to complement his narrative, the author reveals why the British Army allowed war correspondents to the Front in May 1915, and examines how they were controlled and their despatches censored " .
