Title: Anatomy of a Hustle
Subtitle: Cable Comes to South Central L.A.
Author: Clinton Galloway
Narrator: Clinton E. Galloway
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 42 mins
Language: English
Release date: 04-01-14
Publisher: Phoenix Publishing
Genres: History, American
Publisher's Summary:
In the early days of cable television, two brothers set out to better the predominately black community of South Central Los Angeles by establishing the first black-owned cable franchise in the country. Along the way, they are thwarted by the most famous black American politician and the corrupt city council over which he presides.
The players in this true story include people as disparate as the world's richest man and our nation's first black Supreme Court Justice. In 2012, in our media-as-king land, this story illustrates the corruption of government and how our poorest citizens bear the brunt of that horrible burden.

Great history!
Anatomy of A Hustle
I like very much the Anatomy of a Hustle:Cable Comes to South Central LA. Tom Bradley & Black city council members were a disgrace.
Who knew that someone was trying to use cable television for good?
Anatomy of a Hustle is both enlightening and horrifying. Mayor Tom Bradley is known to be a great man around Los Angeles and to read this first-hand account that that reputation is wholly incorrect is wildly surprising. That Bradley would turn his back on the people of South Central; that he was involved in the subversion of justice; that he was only out to maintain his power and make money for his friends is hard to hear. What a great loss for South Centralâs citizens. Given whatâs going on in Washington right now, itâs no surprise that this is how government really works. So damned typical: politicians are politicians.
A MUST Read
Ordinarily when we read a book that details political corruption and tyranny, the author is usually a crime reporter, an undercover law enforcement officer or a whistle blower. In âAnatomy of a Hustle: Cable comes to South Central L. A.â the story teller and eyewitness is a major party to these events and also a victim of the nefarious shenanigans perpetrated by those officials and their representatives. The perpetrators were serving in fiduciary relationships with the story teller, his brother, other partners, and the primary and biggest victim: the community of South Central L. A..
The saga is told in poignant chilling details that not only puts the reader in the room, but also in the emotional seat of the author/victim, Clinton Galloway. Mr. Galloway is superb in recounting years of countless unethical, improper and illegal bribes, camouflaged as valid proposals by evil, mean-spirited, immoral, greedy and shameless men. He recounted endless meetings called for nothing but another opportunity to push the agenda they didnât achieve at the last meeting; and it typically called for even more dastard deeds. Anatomy revealed the underbelly of a corrupt culture perpetrated by men who betrayed every tenet of decency and justice. There are many books on political corruption, but none have taken you to the place Anatomy takes you: a front row seat, deep into the recesses of tyranny. For those who were living in Los Angeles at the time, you feel an even greater betrayal by those sworn to serve and protect the community.
The poor conditions, the retarded growth and the lack of parity with other communities of South Central L. A. that continues to exist today, is well documented. Many observers blame the situation on those who burned and looted their own neighborhood.
