520    "A page-turning history of The View, one of daytime 
       television's longest running and most lucrative shows, and
       the soap opera worthy story of the formidable women behind
       its success When Barbara Walters launched The View in 1997,
       ABC executives repeatedly told her that hosting the show 
       would tarnish her reputation as a serious newswoman. Ten 
       years later, The View was being watched daily in the 
       living rooms of tens of millions of Americans and launched
       the careers of Meredith Vieira, Star Jones, Elisabeth 
       Hasselbeck, and Joy Behar. But the daily chat--fest didn't
       just comment on the news, it became the news. The women of
       The View were opinion--makers and power brokers, and no 
       one questioned the show's importance or its place in 
       history. As viewership continued to top the charts, a 
       seemingly endless series of clashes among the stars (and 
       their guests) and a revolving door of co-hosts earned 
       front--page coverage in magazines and newspapers. National
       headlines chronicled Rosie O'Donnell's feud with Donald 
       Trump, Whoopi Goldberg's conversations about race, and 
       Walters' struggle to maintain control of it all. Laced 
       with humor and a cast of larger-than-life characters, this
       is both a timely chronicle of 21st century daytime 
       television and a classic tale about power. With in-depth 
       reporting and new interviews, this story takes readers 
       behind the scenes where these very public figures 
       struggled to balance image, ambition, friendship, and 
       loyalty, while changing television forever"--|cProvided by
