Summary
This is the first biography of the enigmatic broadcast visionary and C-SPAN founder Brian Lamb. It explores Lamb's experiences as public affairs officer to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, White House staffer during the Johnson and Nixon administrations, Capitol Hill press secretary, and many other previously unknown stories. Founding Father also chronicles the creation and rise of C-SPAN from a dream to the network of record for public affairs with its legion of C-SPAN junkies.
