The Network: The Hidden History of a Trillion Dollar Business HeistThe Network: The Hidden History of a Trillion Dollar Business Heist by Scott Woolley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Scott Woolley takes the reader on a thrilling scientific fete from the use of Morse code in wireless messages aboard the sinking Titanic, messages which saved hundreds of lives, to the broadcasting of radio, TV, and radar. From Satellites to Senators and presidents and the FCC, the evolution of the wireless network is revealed with insight, intelligence, and a touch of humor and its industry leaders exposed or heralded as befitting their parts in their roles in the network's ride on America's airwaves.

(A five star read, yes, but could of used one more go-around with an editor).
