Long before the internet, another young technology was transformed--with help from a colorful collection of eccentrics and visionaries--into a mass medium with the power to connect millions of people. When amateur enthusiasts began sending fuzzy signals from their garages and rooftops, radio broadcasting was born.

Into the chaos stepped a young secretary of commerce, Herbert Hoover, whose passion for organization guided the technology's growth.
