دانلود کتاب Cable Cowboy: John Malone and the Rise of the Modern Cable Business

Praise for Cable Cowboy "Cable Cowboy is a first-rate work by a first-rate reporter–excellent, original research on a topic that deserves it." –Bryan Burrough author of Barbarians at the Gate, and Dragonfly: NASA and the Crisis Aboard MIR "With skill and precision, author Mark Robichaux paints a portrait of a man who is both fox and lamb, cunningly ruthless and surprisingly genuine. . . . We get to watch a man who plays chess against opponents who merely play checkers. And we get a really good read." –Ken Auletta author of World War 3.0: Microsoft Vs. the U.S. Government, and the Battle to Rule the Digital Age and Three Blind Mice: How the TV Networks Lost Their Way "John Malone’s remarkable climb [is] a tale worthy of a great cinematic Western. For the first time, we get a sharp picture of the man behind the mogul, an unflinching portrait of one of the business world’s sharpest dealmakers. I dare you to put it down." –Tom King author of The Operator: David Geffen Builds, Buys, and Sells the New Hollywood "Robichaux has provided a smart assessment of the cable industry through the wild narrative of John Malone. . . . and turned it into a tale that manages to be both colorful and informative." –Walter Isaacson Chairman, CNN, and author of Kissinger: A Biography "A terrific saga of American enterprise–how lonely wires on windswept hillsides were stretched and spun into the Information Superhighway–as seen through the remarkable career of cable television’s greatest entrepreneur." –David Von Drehle author of Among the Lowest of the Dead: Inside Death Row
