Review snippets: This video and the companion book offer a great glimpse into the background of how radio across the globe developed 100 years ago. This video and book provide a 'lab bench' view into the labs of Armstrong and De Forest / Very well made documentary about the complete history of the very beginning of radio and It also goes into great details about these ingenuous inventors and their accomplishments, failures, friends and enemies. A must buy, I love it. Read more
