[Description from book jacket] "During the Battle of Britain, when Edward R. Murrow was broadcasting to America, and Winston Churchill speaking to the whole world, J.B. Priestley made different broadcasting history in these "oral essays" for the people of Great Britain, given each Sunday night following the nine o'clock news. Millions listened, and thousands responded by mail, to these down-to-earth, funny, moving, and above all rallying experiments in 'propaganda.'....In his Introduction Eric Sevareid writes: 'It is a great weapon, the voice of a man of courage an dcompassion and, above all, communion with his countrymen's highest and deepest instincts.'"
