The book delves into the dynamics of political power and media influence, exploring how government officials and media entities interacted, sometimes contentiously, during that period.## ## Margach, a seasoned political journalist, provides insights into how government leaders, including Prime Ministers and their advisors, attempted to manage and manipulate public opinion through the media. He discusses specific instances where Downing Street, the epicentre of executive power in the UK, clashed with journalists and broadcasters over the control of information and the narrative presented to the public.## ## The book is significant for its detailed account of the 'war' between politicians and the press, highlighting censorship, freedom of speech, and the ethical responsibilities of government officials and media practitioners. It is a historical case study on the delicate balance between governmental authority and journalistic independence.## ## This work remains relevant today as it underscores enduring questions about media's role in democracy and governance, particularly in an age where technology has transformed how information is disseminated and consumed.## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
