Abstract

"The Price of Truth: The Journalist Who Defied Military Censors to Report the Fall of Nazi Germany" by Richard Fine is a book that sheds light on the overlooked story of Edward Kennedy, a journalist who violated a news embargo to report Germany's unconditional surrender at the end of World War II. The book explores the tensions between the press and the military, as well as issues of freedom of the press and censorship. Fine's research is based on extensive archival sources and provides a compelling narrative that challenges the commonly held belief of a cooperative relationship between the military and the press during World War II. The book is suitable for both general interest readers and academic study. [Extracted from the article]
