| Publisher Description: You may have heard the story of how Guglielmo Marconi invented the radio, but what if it isn't entirely true? What if the brilliant young inventor Nikola Tesla was working on advancing radio technology at exactly the same time? You'll be captivated by the tale of two invention powerhouses facing off in a race to create the first long-range radio. In a battle filled with successes and setbacks, see how Marconi and Tesla set out to take home the gold. You'll never look at the radio the same way again |
