The Soundtrack of Conflict

The Role of Music in Radio Broadcasting in Wartime and in Conflict Situations. Edited by M. J. Grant and Férdia J. Stone-Davis. The essays in the volume offer case studies spanning over eighty years and five continents. They explore the many important roles that music broadcast on radio can play in wartime and in conflict situations – as a means of information (and misinformation), as a communication medium by those separated by and yet connected through the fighting, and as an aid to managing the complex emotions that are experienced. Moreover, the essays demonstrate that music is not just a soundtrack to conflict, but can also influence the very course that a conflict takes.
