Good story.

Few non-elective citizens have made as much of an impact on the American political scene in the past three decades as Brian Lamb, the man principally responsible for bringing the on-floor deliberations and the public hearings Congress onto the television screens of the American people through C-SPAN (the House) and C-SPAN 2 (the Senate). Of special note is the weekend dedication of C-SPAN 2 to authors, books, and publishing with respect to public issues and political events.

This book is author Stephen Frantzich's look at the founding father of C-Span. Never elected to office, nor appointed to a policy-making position, Lamb's impact on American politics undeniably supercedes that of many individuals whose titles and positions imply greater influence.
