Spooked!: How a Radio Broadcast and the War of the Worlds Sparked the 1938 Invasion of America by Gail Jarrow
4.0
A lot of fun! Jarrow does a great time setting the scene, backing up a bit to give context, and then showing the timeline and the effects on people, and ending up discusses the myth of the event verses the probably reality, including a look at other hoaxes and propaganda.
She manages to never look at any parallels of the modern world, but I sure do. Let's see, a bunch of Americans swallow a pile of fiction and do dumb stuff.
