Reseña del libro "From Cable to Wireless: The Forgotten History of Telegraphy in Trinidad, 1871-1941"

This prequel to the History of Colonial Radio in Trinidad trilogy describes how the global interplay of science, private business, and British imperialism dictated the development of telegraphy in Trinidad and, later, Tobago, and led to the passage of local telegraphy ordinances. The book also documents for the first time, four key cases highlighting how telegraphy played an important role in crises affecting the colony.
