The book explores the Office of Censorship's role in World War II, highlighting its effective management of news through voluntary self-censorship by the American press. Starting in January 1942, journalists were provided with censorship codebooks and requested to follow the guidelines. The remarkable compliance during the war is underscored by the fact that no print journalist and only one radio journalist intentionally breached these codes, showcasing the press's commitment to wartime information control.
