Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+ dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Paul Bacon (illustrator). First Edition. [a very nice clean copy, with very slight deterioration to cloth at spine ends; jacket much nicer than often seen (when seen at all) on this book, modestly worn at extremities, horizontal crease along bottom edge of rear panel]. (B&W photographs) "A selection -- in text and pictures" of one of the most notable achievements of early TV, the precursor to and spiritual godfather of all documentary/newsmagazine shows that have followed it. As the jacket blurb puts it, it was "the most widely discussed, most electric, most admired, and most rabidly condemned program on television," and also "the most penetrating [and] most important." In an era when TV news consisted essentially of a guy behind a desk, reading into the camera -- radio with a talking head, if you will -- "See It Now" brought the news and, especially, the newsmakers into America's living rooms with a compelling visual immediacy. The show had achieved what was perhaps its greatest triumph the year before this book was published, when it aired (on March 9, 1954) "A Report on Senator Joseph R. McCarthy," which has generally been credited with shifting the public's perception of McCarthy's communist-witch-hunting tactics, and marking the beginning of his eventual fall from power. Interestingly, however, the McCarthy episode is not among the programs that Murrow and Friendly chose to excerpt and illustrate in this volume -- although McCarthy does put in an appearance (along with his associate, the loathsome Roy Cohn) in the section of the book devoted to the show's coverage of the appearance of Annie Lee Moss in front of McCarthy's Congressional committee. In a nicer-than-usually-seen example of the dust jacket, an early-career design by the great Paul Bacon. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this slightly heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.****.
