Beginning in 1979, C-SPAN (the Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network) has offered gavel-to-gavel, unedited coverage of public events--especially sessions of Congress--in the United States. The C-SPAN Revolution, by Stephen Frantzich and John Sullivan, is the first history of this unique network, offering a behind-the-scenes look at C-SPAN's evolution, operation, and impact on public affairs.
Dr. Frantzich knows his stuff. He does an excellent job describing CSPAN and it's impact on Congress. An important book for any Political Science Major, Professor, or any student of politics. The Naval Academy is lucky to have such a good professor.
Great resource for those wishing to learn more about C-SPAN.
