Su questo libro

Recensione:

"A first-rate study of the man and his influence... Well written and rich in insight." -- George Juergens, Journal of American History

"Despite its brevity, this profile manages to place Luce within the broader context of the twentieth-century news media, and to assess his significance as an innovative journalist. Baughman writes in a refreshing style that (given its subject) is appropriately concise, knowledgeable, and often irreverent." -- Donald A. Ritchie, Business History Review

"A solid account of Luce's life and legacy... A concise, readable volume." -- Roy Alden Atwood, Journalism Quarterly

"Incisive and crisply written, James Baughman's biography of the man who revolutionized magazine publishing but put his periodicals at the service of his own political agenda packs a great deal into a few pages. Readers are not going to want to put it down." -- William E. Leuchtenburg, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
