Review # 1 was written on 2021-05-14 00:00:00 Joselito Angeles 4.5 until last few chapters (dropped to 3.5) definitely recommend. Very interesting. And lengthy history of BBC necessary for proper context.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-04-29 00:00:00 Mark Elliott Abandoned on page 30 of 300. Jumps around randomly. Had mentioned Lewis once in that time with his view on evacuees, the evacuation of which was worth 2 pages despite having nothing to do with the book’s subject. Had covered religious broadcasting before the war and the BBC’s boring output at the very start of the war. It felt like I needed more background knowledge than I had for the pre-war part and it was unclear as to who was to blame for the boring output. It then jumped from war being declared in the previous chapter to a discussion of why the BBC didn’t cover the Holocaust during the war. While a worthwhile question it again had nothing to do with the subject and felt completely out of place in the book.
