- Exploring the cultural and diplomatic significance of international broadcasting during the Cold War, London Calling (Bloomsbury, 2014) reveals how the BBC found itself on the frontline of this geopolitical battle. It is based on several years of extensive primary archival research at the BBC and the National Archives. The author was the authorised historian of the BBC World Service. 95,000 words long, the book is the first detailed assessment of how the BBC came to terms with the emerging dynamics of the Cold War and negotiated its relationship with its listeners over the Iron Curtain and its funders in Whitehall.
