2.0 out of 5 stars NOT a popular history of telecommunications!, November 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: From the Telegraph to the Internet (Hardcover)
If you're thinking that this book is a comprehensive popular overview of the history of telecommunications, forget it. It really is about Morton Bahr's career with the Communications Workers of America. After reading Tom Standage's outstanding "Victorian Internet" book, my view of the Web as the modern-day telegraph was enhanced. But, the title of this book is so unfairly mis-leading, that it's a shame. Don't look to this book as a popular history of the Internet! In fact, I intend to return it and get another book.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT HISTORY OF LABOR MOVEMENT, November 16, 2001
By 
Nikki Goldberg (Hollywood, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From the Telegraph to the Internet (Hardcover)
(...)This book IS a history of the telecommunication movement through the eyes of the most competent labor leader of our time! This book details the struggle that our country has gone through in order to achieve the technological advances and human rights that we enjoy today. We are lucky to have a labor leader like President Bahr heading the fight for everyday people. We are even luckier that he has shared his stories and viewpoints with us in this informative, entertaining, and poignant book.
