The Wind in the Trees

The Wind In The Trees: From The Farm To The Front Line Of Television's Influence by television broadcast executive James E. Duffy (a 46-year veteran of the American Broadcasting Company), is the compelling story of television's pervasive ability to influence American society and culture. Written by an "insider" familiar with the complex business of corporate television and its inescapable bottom line of network programming, The Wind In The Trees combines history with an invaluable and eyewitness view of power politics, scandal, the struggle for artistic integrity, and much, much more to present the non-specialist general reader with a fascinating, informative, "behind-the-scenes" look at this American institution and pastime that has formed and shaped a universal part of American and global culture.
