Series: Investigating Power
Description: The war in Afghanistan is now the longest and, arguably, worst reported conflict in Australian history. In Don't Mention the War, Kevin Foster explores why this is so and considers who engineered and who has benefitted from its impoverished coverage. The book also investigates how political responses to the conflict, and the discourse that framed them, served to conceal the facts and neuter public debate about the war.
