The 1938 Orson Welles broadcast of ""The War of the Worlds"" was a
landmark in the history of entertainment, sparking a public
hysteria in America and a series of subsequent broadcasts around
the world that elicited similar responses. This book examines the
historic broadcast indepth. It covers all aspects of the phenomenon
including fascination with Mars; H.G. Wells' novel; Orson Welles
and the making of the broadcast; initial reactions and the
resulting 'fog of war'; anxieties underlying the panic; and the
aftermath. Chapters also look at later broadcasts in the United
States, Latin America, Brazil and Portugal, and address the
likelihood that a similar panic could happen again. The original
script of the 1938 ""The War of the Worlds"" radio broadcast,
written by Howard Koch, is included.
