The story of three men of genius, vision, determination and fascinating complexity, whose lives were stranger and more dramatic than anything they created. Narrated by Jason Robards, the program follows the successes, failures, and ambitions of three great leaders of radio - Lee De Forest, "the father of radio"; David Sarnoff, Head of Radio Corporation of America; and Edwin Howard Armstrong, creator of FM broadcasting.
