"Hooper, an officer in the British Royal Marines, bases his study largely on first-hand research consisting of personal observation of the news process in the press, radio and television, interviews with various personalities in the military and the media, and visits to a number of military establishments to see what they teach about the media. From this he has culled case studies of the news process as practiced in print and broadcast news; a review of the current depth of knowledge which journalists and military personnel possesses of the other; an analysis of the portrayal of the military on television; and a study of the reporting of conflict which includes an examination of some examples from the Vietnam war, Northern Ireland and the Falkland crisis."
