- Synopsis
- Empire of the Air is a history of radio in the United States. It tells the almost-unknown story of three American visionaries--scientist Lee de Forest, brilliant recluse Edwin H. Armstrong, and RCA mogul David Sarnoff--whose imagination and dreams turned a hobbyists' toy into radio, launching the modern communication age. It is a tale of pioneers on the frontier of a new technology, of American entrepreneurial spirit, and of the tragic collision between the lone inventor and the large corporation. Court cases would decide whose legacy would reign supreme. A magnificently researched biography of extraordinary men whose achievements changed our lives forever.
