Book Synopsis
Shines a new light on a dark era in American journalism

Trade Review
"Writing a blurb for this book would be a snap: 'Every serious journalist should read this fascinating, superbly researched, thoroughly documented, and invaluable historical account of a frightening, sustained and vicious assault on robust journalism-an assault that has great resonance today,' is what I'd say...For those not old enough to have lived through this time in our nation's history, having the chance this book gives to absorb its valuable lessons is a gift worth sampling." -Nieman Reports
