Invasion of the Mind Snatchers: Television's Conquest of America in the Fifties

"Eric Burns, a bona fide TV historian … has brought our early, grainy television history to life in living color. His book is a tour of our times, from cowboys and Indians, and scoundrels and healers, to televised hearings and game show hosts. Invasion of the Mind Snatchers is a television-lover's portrait of how we got here, for better or worse, and Burns reminds us that what we were watching all those years was our own history unfolding." —Brian Williams, Anchor and Managing Editor, NBC Nightly News
