"A social history of the interaction between the press and Bolivian society, based on a study of Bolivian newspapers over the 12-year period of the Bolivian National Revolution, during which the press played a great part both in fomenting the revolution and carrying it out. This is both an unfolding of the role of journalism and a description of a period of Bolivian history. In Knudson's words: "The historical method has been used in the belief that history is concerned - or should be concerned - not only with what actually happened in any given time and place, but also with what people thought was happening, as revealed to them through the means of public information" - in this case, the newspaper. The study is heavily documented." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 917)
