Charles Stanley turned PYE Radio into a multinational company with thirty thousand employees that contributed to Britain's victory in World War II. PYE Radio went on to become a world leader in mobile communications, helping shape the modern media age. However, by 1966 Stanley had lost both his company and his reputation. This researched text is written within the broad context of the political, technological and business changes of the time, and shows how a very ambitious businessman was brought down by the qualities that made him so successful.Also available:Restoring Baird's Image - ISBN 9780852967959 Technical History of the Beginnings of Radar - ISBN 9780863410437The Institution of Engineering and Technology is one of the world's leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community.
