On Halloween eve 1938, people across America gathered around the radio to listen to their favorite Sunday evening program. Expecting to hear the latest drama from Orson Welles's Mercury Theatre, many were alarmed when news bulletins interrupted the show. New Jersey had been rocked by mysterious explosions. The announcements continued, each more frantic than the last. An invading army's strange and powerful weapons had killed thousands. Listeners feared the worst. Was America under attack by the Germans? Could this be the start of another world war?

Award-winning author Gail Jarrow reveals in riveting detail the events leading up to the terrifying radio broadcast and its aftermath. She explores the reactions of listeners, the mass hysteria reported by the media, the public's susceptibility to propaganda, and the role of radio as a source of both entertainment and information.

The shocking broadcast has never been forgotten. Tune in …

I have always been a lover of radio, and OTR shows that paint a picture in your mind. Of course, Oct 30 1938 was one of the most extraordinary events for Radio or OTR in the years to come. The masterful Orson Welles and his theater group Mercury Theather on the air knew just how to create that theater of the mind not only with words but also significant effects and the Drama of suspense in waiting 2,3,4,5 seconds to drop the arms and continue the play. This book did a masterful job of behind the scenes and how it lead to the day of airing live across CBS to the after-effects. Brilliantly told by the author with great Narration. Highly recommend this for any Orson Welles, radio, or OTR fan. Theater of the Mind is just like a great audiobook today as Radio was back then,
