"An excellent contribution to the now-burgeoning field of
revisionist radio scholarship."--Technology and Culture "With
careful attention to detail, a command of archival sources
including recordings of old radio programs, and an understanding of
how the radio industry operated, Ehrlich has produced an
entertaining book with a convincing argument. It is that rarest of
things-a monograph with a well-defined subject that has both
scholarly integrity and an appeal to a wide audience."--American
Historical Review "A vivid reflection of the social and cultural
climate of the post-World War II era, Matthew C. Ehrlich's engaging
study shows readers what was occurring on the national radio
networks as the Cold War started and the impact that the war had on
broadcasting and those who worked in it. This study is of
significance to historians, mass communications scholars, and
journalists." Patrick S. Washburn, author of The African American
Newspaper: Voice of Freedom "Highly recommended."--Choice "A
fascinating book that brings together important moments in
journalism, technology, politics, world order, media control, and
the mood in the United States during the postwar years. Ehrlich
dramatically sharpens our understanding of how both radio and
television news evolved during the late 1940s."--Mike Conway,
author of The Origins of Television News in America: The
Visualizers of CBS in the 1940s
