Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book chronicles the evolution of the BBC World Service from its inception as a short-wave radio for the British Empire to its current status as a multimedia global platform. It explores the BBC's collaboration with the Foreign Office, its significant role during WWII, and its influence throughout the Cold War and the decline of the British Empire. The narrative raises critical questions about the BBC's identity as both a global and national broadcaster amidst contemporary political challenges, particularly in light of Brexit and the UK's internal divisions.
