Amazingly Insightful
Mark Robichaux captures the excitement, headaches, heartaches and drama of the growth of TCI under John Malone's brilliant watch. Much more than a compilation of facts and figures (which are generously provided), the book thoughtfully combines both chronology and subject narrative to provide a clear picture of Dr. Malone's thought processes, motives, decisions, and even his emotions at each step during the tumultuous growth of the cable business. As a Denver resident who has watched this evolution, I found the inside story adds great perspective to the history as I remember it. Beautifully written, truly capturing the brilliance behind each play.
