"Orson Welles first gained wide American notoriety on the 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast of H. G. Wells's novel of the same name. Adapted to sound like an actual news broadcast, it caused panic and even mass hysteria. Welles and his biographers subsequently claimed he was exposing the gullibility of American audiences in the tense preamble to the Second World War."--Sholem Stein
