John Joseph Fahie (1846 1934) was an engineer for the Electric and
International Telegraph Company before being posted overseas in the
Indo-European Government Telegraph Department. He was also a
respected historian whose History of Wireless Telegraphy (1899)
sold out two impressions in little over a year. In this second
edition (1901), he traces the development of wireless communication
during the nineteenth century, drawing extensively from the
correspondence and technical illustrations of inventors themselves.
This edition was fully updated to take account of the latest
advances in radio technology, including Marconi's latest public
demonstrations. As a practising telegraph engineer, Fahie was in
the perfect position not only to understand the significance of
these developments, but to explain them to a non-specialist
audience. Contemporary reviews indicate he did this with great
success. His book gives an eyewitness account of the rise of radio
technology that still fascinates scholars and enthusiasts today.
