The Global Wireless : Transnational Radiotelegraphy and Its Disruption in World War I

Abstract

The Global Wireless charts a history of wireless beginning in the 1910s, when it was used as a tool for global communication, and ending as it declined and slowly fell from view after World War I. Examining the political negotiations and international communication networks, the book demonstrates how a wireless technology had already spread around the globe a century ago and prompted a radical reconsideration of networked communication.
