In 1964, American companies made 94 percent of every color television sold in the United States. By 1992, that number had collapsed to zero. This is the story of how RCA, Zenith, Motorola and the rest of America's television giants were overtaken by Sony, Panasonic and the rising force of Japanese manufacturing. What went wrong, who was responsible, and why nobody stopped it until it was too late.
