In 1921; a chance encounter with a radio receiver sent Sacramento Bee newspaperman Carlos McClatchy on a determined path to break into broadcasting. Ushered by the enterprising McClatchy family; the Bee became the first Pacific Coast newspaper to enter the radio business. For decades; broadcasting in Sacramento was shaped by the brilliant but fatally flawed Carlos McClatchy; his strong-willed; micromanaging father; C.K.; and his sister Eleanor McClatchy; who sacrificed her own aspirations for the sake of the family business. From a single five-watt station; the family built a large media company; established a radio network with William Randolph Hearst and helped shape media in the American West. Historian Annette Kassis tells the fascinating story of the pivotal McClatchy family and the path they charted through the �ether� above Sacramento.

I have been listening to Felas music for a long time; and after reading the book I understand the meaning of the lyrics much better. He went through so much for defending the rights of the Nigerian people and Africans in general; and for fighting the corrupt regimes. I really admire him. I also learned a lot about the Nigerian culture which was very interesting to me.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

Neither his son; femi; nor any of his band members were interviewed.
