Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 224 pages. Editorial Reviews From Library Journal British TV producer Saltman provides readers with a clearly written, personal account of the production of Waldheim, a TV program made by Thames Television as a coproduction with Home Box Office. T he reader is provided with insights into the joys and anguish of producing a TV show, as well as thoughtful and dispassionate reflections on the difficulty of a ssessing Kurt Waldheim's wartime record. Almost half the book comprises sometime s tedious extracts from the TV script. Purchase of this book should be made more for its discussion of the television industry, particularly the challenge of pr oducing an objective documentary (as contrasted to a trial by television), rathe r than for its analysis of the Waldheim inquiry.
