Interesting historical fiction
submitted by 21621031390949 on July 19, 2018, 10:56pm
Remember all those wonderful things you learned in grade school about Thomas Edison? This book will make you question this American hero, as you learn more about his (and George Westinghouse's) dirty fights for credit for their (and others inventions.
This book is not great literature, nor is it all factual, but it's an interesting story and much of it is true. The reader of the audible audio narration is good.
