The war in Iraq 2003 is the most media-covered event in recent years. This war has been the centre of global attention, and the world media have covered this war prominently. The US administration was successful in creating propaganda on weapons of mass destruction in the context of the invasion of Iraq. Beside this, the Western mass media played a controversial role as they not only played the propaganda war but also legitimated the US invasion of this seat of ancient civilizations. While a number of studies have been conducted in this field around the world, Bangladeshi media, however, have not received any attention. This book addresses the gap in the literature. Therefore, this book is a non-conventional and pioneering work in the field of Bangladeshi media. 'The Iraq War in Bangladeshi Newspapers' is the basis of the author s Master of Philosophy thesis, which was submitted in March 2006. This analysis focuses on newspaper coverage in Bangladesh of the Iraq war 2003, and offers useful insights to students, young scholars and people interested in war, politics, history and media."
