a historical glimpse of the Men who made radio, from the ground up.

Empire of the Air tells the almost unknown story of three american visionaries whose imagination and dreams turned a hobbyists toy into The Radio Industry. Launching the modern communications 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. A magnificently researched biography of extraordinary men whose achievements changed our lives forever.
