Every so often, it's nice to read something different. It could be a genre you don't usually seek out, or a period of history that you don't know much about.
After a brief description of ancient and medieval communications techniques, Burns get stuck into the development of telegraphy. I found this to be the most interesting part of the book, which also detailed the development of telephony, radio and television. By and large I enjoyed the earlier chapters the best. In fact, I'd like to learn much more about the history of telegraphs now.
At over 600 pages, the book is detailed and comprehensive. It took me a while to get through, but I read it cover to cover and greatly enjoyed it.
