    Dreamers and Deceivers
    True Stories of the Heroes and Villains Who Made America
    Summary and Analysis
    By Summary Station

    Dreamers and Deceivers is an astonishing book. Although these are factual accounts from our past, it does not read like a history book. Rather the author, Glenn Beck, has presented each story as a miniature novel based in fact. Using this technique Beck has created a work which is not only easy to read, but a pleasure to read as well. His insights into the various 'characters' and their personalities lend a realism to the reading which draws you into the story. Rather than a dry set of facts, Dreamers and Deceivers gives you enough information about each person to allow you to imagine what they might have been like, while revealing their often hidden histories.

    Summary Station

    Many great books are released every year and most avid readers know that they may never have time to read all of the books on their list. In today’s world, many people do not get as much time to read as they would like, so it is important to use any reading time wisely. The problem with this is that it can be very difficult to know if a book is worth reading until you have already invested some time into reading it. This is one of the many reasons that Summary Station was created. The staff at Summary Station wants to provide readers with a way to get a good idea of a book before they invest their time and money into reading it. We make sure to provide you with as much information about a book as we possibly can. With Summary Station you can be assured that you will not only get a quality summary of a featured book, but you will also receive valuable information and analysis.

Even if you know you are going to definitely read a book, it will give you a big advantage in understanding the book if you explore one of our excellent summaries first.

      About Summary Station

      Chapter 1

      This book begins with an expose of Grover Cleveland who was known for being an honest politician during his presidency in the 1880's. Although he was generally an honest president as well, there happened to be an incident during which he disappeared aboard a friend's yacht for four days and lied about the reason for his absence.

      Moving on to the next story, we learn about Edwin Howard Armstrong, also known as The Major, who is just about to jump from the 13th floor of a New York City apartment block at the end of January 1954. He had left a note that calculated the odds of his body being smashed upon impact with the ground below. He took the time to dress in attire which people would recognize him in for identification purposes and then moved over to the window. This part of the book does not tell whether or not Armstrong actually jumped. First, we are told the race to discover, decode and understand the new phenomenon of radio would be run by Armstrong, David Sarnoff and Lee de Forest.

      Abruptly, the narrative jumps back in time some forty eight years as we join a much younger Armstrong being chastised by his mother for not
