Customer Reviews

A

Being in Atlanta, we have all heard small stories about the inner workings of CNN, but this book brings to light the true beginnings of a television phenomenon. Well written and thoughtful, the author does a great job of getting the story across without just sugarcoating it. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book from cover to cover, and I would recommend it to anyone.

A Must Read for CNN Junkies

I loved this book. John Baker is a wonderful story teller, and doesn't hide any of the secrets of CNN. I recommend this book if you are an avid fan of CNN, a news junkie, or simply enjoy laughing out loud. Advance Warning: whoever designed the printing layout of this book should be shot at sunset. The margins are teeny, requiring that the reader constantly fight with the book to keep it open enough to read. My wrists and arms are worn out from fighting with the book.

A real page Turner...

For those who were there - a stroll down memory lane. For others - a 'Truth is stranger than fiction' account of the origins and infancy of CNN.
