Reviews

"Minchom explores the ways in which journalists came to cover particular stories, perhaps at the expense of others, and how these stories helped shape the ‘big narrative’, of the Spanish Civil War."" Professor Peter Anderson, University of Leeds ""(The book’s) particular strengths lie in the mechanisms of reporting in Spain, including the divisions between the Republican and insurgent zones; the place of transnational news sharing; and the limits of each agency and newspaper’s reach."" Stephen Rainbird, London School of Economics"
