Victory through Harmony: The BBC and Popular Music in World War II
Baade, Christina L. (Associate Professor in Music and Communication Studies, Associate Professor in Music and Communication Studies, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada)
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.
