Reviews

"Benjamin provides a conclse, thorough, and neutrally stanced history of the development of commercial radio broadcasting, with a special emphasis on the legislative history and some discussion of the legal history as well. I see this document as primarily a historical chronicle-a retelling in one place of a complex story."-Warren Sandmann, Mankato State University"
