Where Were You When. . .? A great item for fans of OTR, journalism, radio
buffs, and history! Having the actual broadcasts (from the networks), and
reading about the background made this fascinating. It would be a good
collectors item. And would be welcome addition to your book shelf (and CD
collection).

Few phrases garner as much attention as "We Interrupt This Broadcast. . ."
Wherever we may happen to be, our lives stop for a moment, and we experience
those few seconds of anxiety between the interruption and the actual
announcement of what has happened.

In words and images-and on two audio CDs-We Interrupt This Broadcast brings
to life the famous and infamous moments that were announced to us with those
four chilling words. From the dawn of electronic media to today, from the
catastrophe of the Hindenburg to the tragic events of September 11, 2001,
these are the forty-three events that stopped us in our tracks and changed
our world.

We Interrupt This Broadcast recounts the details of the events and
spotlights the photographs that tell the stories. Accompanying the book are
two digitally mastered compact discs containing over two hours of audio from
the events, narrated by award-winning journalist Bill Kurtis.

These heart-stopping moments include both the famous words you remember and
rare audio footage that will take you back into the magnitude of the event.
Share with your friends, family, children and grandchildren your memories of
where you were when the world stopped and held its breath in anticipation.

lessons and a dramatic record of the definitive moments for generations of
Americans."

more powerful-or chilling."
