Praise for The Billion Dollar BET



"In a gripping narrative that is both inspirational and cautionary,
Brett Pulley tells us how Robert Johnson built Black Entertainment
Television into a billion-dollar media empire. In a remarkable feat
of reporting, without Johnson's cooperation, Pulley shows what it
really takes to get ahead in America today, and in doing so
provides as valuable a cultural as business history."

--James B. Stewart Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and
bestselling author of DisneyWar, Den of Thieves, and Heart of a
Soldier



"Like or dislike? Agree or disagree? Bob Johnson's richly varied
and fascinating life presses you against the window that Brett
Pulley opens widely."

--Bernard Shaw retired CNN anchor



"Through his BET network, Bob Johnson reached the pinnacle of
capitalism, the billionaire boys club, in the spirit of legions of
driven, American moguls . . . Veteran business journalist Brett
Pulley peels back the layers of this fascinating and complex
entrepreneur."

--Teri Agins Senior Special Writer, the Wall Street Journal, and
author of The End of Fashion: How Marketing Changed the Clothing
Business Forever
