Fascinating and Insightful: A Gem,
By RL Finley (East Coast) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rise of Radio, from Marconi through the Golden Age (Paperback)
This book is thoroughly researched and footnoted, with an extensive bibliography and scholarly content, yet is interesting and accessible to the lay person. Fascinating trivia is included; photos are unusual and interesting too - for example, a b/w close-up of Ronald Reagan at his first job, a radio announcer in Davenport, Iowa.
Detailed but concise and extremely well-written, the author covers the background of radio and lessons learned (or lessons we COULD learn) as they apply to today's media conglomerates and Federal regulators in the chapter "A Legacy Lost." Outstanding nonfiction reading and well worth the price. |
