Christina L. Baade

Victory Through Harmony

The BBC and Popular Music in World War II

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book tells the fascinating story of the BBC's participation in the events of World War II through popular music and jazz broadcasting. Author Christina Baade argues that rather than providing the soundtrack for a unified "People's War" as its popular broadcast Victory through Harmony promised to do, the BBC's popular music broadcasting efforts exposed the divergent ideologies, tastes, and perspectives of the nation.
