    About this ebook

    It didn’t just happen that soundbite television came to trivialize policy.

    Someone willed it. A very surprising someone.

    With the best possible intentions. For the best possible reasons. In all sincerity.

    To save the Republic. To elect the best possible President.

    A crime of influence. Perpetrated by real people.

    Who paid a real price.

    This is their true story. In their own words.

    • "AN ELECTION OF PATRIOTS a true novel in their own words", "A CRIME OF INFLUENCE a screenplay" and "PIVOT a 90-minute play for radio" are all included in the omnibus volume "THE TIME-LIFE CONSPIRACY" at a saving over buying the three volumes separately.

      An interesting story about the infant days of television. What was striking to me was how The managing editor of Time magazine, Harry Luce, utilized television bites to get Eisenhower the Republican party nomination for the 1950 elections. I found there were a few too many characters in this novella so I did tend to lose perspective. It is a worthy read to experience the near capitulation of the Republican party and how television was used to put them back in power after 52 years of Democratic party dominance. It is about politics as it actually unfolded in 1949 so it does tend to drag a bit.
    • 4/5
      I will have to say that this was a very good historical fiction that did take me by surprise. It was very believable plot that takes a very interesting look at the landscape of poetics back in the 1950’s
