This book chronicles the life story of Ted Turner—cable
television mogul, successful baseball team owner, and fascinating
public figure. Ted Turner: A Biography tells the story of a man
whose wide range of accomplishments have led to a Man of the Year
award from Time magazine, induction into the Advertising Hall of
Fame, and numerous awards and honorary degrees for humanitarian,
philanthropic, and environmental activism. Ted Turner shows how
this remarkable, unpredictable man built the risky purchase of a
small Atlanta UHF station into a cable television juggernaut, as
well as how Turner transformed the Atlanta Braves from a lowly
franchise to one of baseball's most popular and successful teams.
The book also highlights other fascinating aspects of Turner's
life, including his record-breaking career as a yachtsman, his
extraordinary efforts to save the American bison, his
headline-making marriage to Jane Fonda, and his sometimes
contradictory, often controversial public persona.
