Radio and the Politics of Sound in Interwar France, 1921-1939 - Scales, Rebecca P. (Rochester Institute of Technology, New York)

It rejects the idea of radio as a tool for a totalitarian state and instead offers a more nuanced picture of the impact of broadcasting on 1930s politics in interwar France.
