British Film Critic Alexander Walker has written the first comprehensive book on the most important development in film history - the introduction of sound. The Shattered Silents is a superbly written, lively book that expertly re-creates the atmosphere of the silent-to-sound transition. It is illustrated with 65 photographs, some of them quite rare. -- from book's back cover
