Summary:

An examination of how most writing about the media and war fails to adequately capture the nature of warfare or place the media within a wider social, economic, and political setting, this book seeks to radically change the view of the Gulf war of 1991 by arguing, controversially that there was no war at all. It explores the state system operating in the United Kingdom and United States at the time of the war, the types of warfare these countries conduct, and the roles the press represent the wars they engage in.
