From August 1999, with Michael H. Ebner :
"Few individuals have done more to promote the reading of history and biography than Brian Lamb. C-SPAN has created a unique way for people in this country--and ninety other nations worldwide--to witness history in the making. Millions have watched its coverage of the political processes in Washington; Senate coverage of the Persian Gulf War in 1991 reached 32.3 million subscribers alone. Lamb has also interviewed hundreds of historians and biographers--among them many OAH [Organization of American Historians] members--on his Booknotes program and since last year on his weekend Book TV program on C-SPAN 2."
