<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Phone Warriors </em>exposes the telecom wars of the 1970s.</p><p> </p><p>For most of the 20th Century, one name presided over the American telephone industry. Ma Bell, a behemoth monopoly that ruled telecom like a Cold War dictator, was<em> </em>a sophisticated network of AT&T companies that controlled the telephone world until its mandated break-up in 1982. The general public, accustomed to the sleek and sophisticated business of wireless carriers, was unaware of the misdeeds and unethical activities at Ma Bell.</p><p> </p><p>Full of exclusive interviews with industry insiders who reveal a picture of deplorable actions and fly-by-night practices, <em>Phone Warriors </em>exposes the ruthless extent to which AT&T attempted to protect its monopoly. Author Paul Olsen found himself in the center of a telecom war, uniquely positioned to write about the dirty tricks and unscrupulous tactics used by AT&T and other villains in these true stories of scandal and success that surrounded the largest company in the world.</p>
