The Right Frequency: The Story of the Talk Giants Who Shook Up the Political and Media Establishment by Fred V. Lucas hit Amazon's best seller list. It entered the golden circle for two categories: #1 in Radio and #1 in Public Affairs & Administration.

Standing alone at Number One above such classics as the audio of the award winning Les Miserables, it is at the very pinnacle in the Radio category where it also beats book by and about media celebrities Rush Limbaugh, Larry King and Wendy Williams.

Powered by the widening scandals with Benghazi and the Internal Revenue Service, interest in public commentary has turned attention to The Right Frequency pushing it far beyond such books as former President Bill Clinton's Back to Work to the Number One spot the Public Affairs category..

Written by White House correspondent Fred V. Lucas, The Right Frequency, is a study of the personalities that comprise the conservative radio world from its earliest days with Walter Winchell speaking to everyone including "everyone on the ships at sea," to the modern voices of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and others who bring excitement to the day.

Mark Levin, best selling author and talk radio host, said, "Fred Lucas not only delineates the roots of talk radio as a venue for communicating conservative political thought in the 1930s and 40s, he explains how it has become, in the 21st century, the life force for the conservative movement and the voice for conservative ideals on the current political landscape. Anyone who loves talk radio will love this book."

Publishers Weekly said, "Lucas' love and knowledge of talk radio is evident and will appeal to any fan of the medium."

Dick Morris, former advisor to President Clinton said, "Talk radio destroyed the liberal media monopoly and gave the conservatives a voice. But precisely because it brought the giants low, the publishing industry has ignored its history. Fred Lucas now fills that void, explaining from where it came and where it might be headed."
