I picked the book up with a layman's knowledge of the cable industry and it's origins. I come away with a much broader understanding of both it's origins and significance. The read is smooth and upbeat and really get's to know the man who wired our nation.
A riveting tale of an important influential figure.

"Excellent coverage of John Malone"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
