I love this book and how it is put together. It is not set up the way traditional history books are but gives insights into the people who really made our history possible such as the black draftsman who invented the durable filament behind Thomas Edison's invention of the light bulb, the Richmond Spinister who ran a spy ring and so much more.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

One of the best history books I have read. Not your normal history. It’s about the people behind the famous people.
