Over many centuries, journalists have accused governments of being "horrible monsters," with "guilty consciences," while reporters have been branded "poisoners of the people" putting out "false fables."

He takes us from Henry VIII's reign when writers and printers were executed, to the later struggles for the right to a free press, to the Taylor tracks the story of what's been a long, bloody and messy war, and discovers that neither side has always had clean hands.
