Book Description: ESPN: The Uncensored History is the first book to provide a critical analysis of the 20 year history of Americas original and largest sports network. Through information gleaned from internal documents, police and court records, and interviews with network employees, on air talent, producers and executives, this book investigates the inside story of ESPN and brings it to you uncensored. In the tradition of John Helyars landmark book about the business of pro baseball, Lords of the Realm, ESPN: The Uncensored History recreates in vivid, no holds barred detail the pivotal events that shaped the network in the first two decades. Among the books highlights: The real story of the networks founding and very early days; A revealing portrait of the networks most compelling personalities, such as Keith Olbermann, Dan Patrick, Chris Berman, Stuart Scott, and the conflicts between them; the power struggles between management and talent; an unsparing account of the networks troubles with sexual harassment, racial discrimination, drug use and gambling addictions. Tracing its meteoric rise from its improbable inception through its evolution into a slick media outlet reaching more than 60 million homes through over 26,000 cable providers, this book evenly examines the profound influence ESPN has had on its industry and the culture at large.
