Review Quotes
Jonathan Bignell, University of Reading
“The ‘War on Terror’ is an often-used but little-analyzed term, and in this collection leading international specialists unpack what is at stake in television that engages with it in factual, fictional, and docudramatic forms. This book is essential reading on how the small screen represents and shapes the times we live in.”
