The Power of News by Donald Read
This book is a fascinating account of Reuters, the international news agency which for almost 150 years has brought us history as it is being made. Donald Read's authoritative and readable history of Reuters shows how the company has always been in the forefront of communications technology, from the days of pigeon post and the first transatlantic cables to the age of the satellite and computer link.
From secret messages hidden in an engine driver's sandwiches to the chartering of special steamers and now instantaneous news via satellites, the story is compelling * Lloyd's List *
Reuters was to news what Rolls-Royce is to cars and Lords is to cricket.. the biggest story to come out of Reuters is its own * Daily Mail *
The remarkable history of an institution and its visionary founder * Financial Times *
