In the process of ordering this book, "The Electric War: Edison, Tesla, Westinghouse and the race to light the world" I read the editorial review from School Library Journal. here is part of it.
"Gr 7 Up—A narrative nonfiction account of the cutthroat competition among Thomas Alva Edison, Nikola Tesla, George Westinghouse, and a host of stakeholders during the Gilded Age in the United States. This volume is plainly about the intersecting ventures of three white men and is void of discussion about race and gender dynamics in this history."
Man, you just can not get away from this race crap. Apparently these people only have thoughts of race, climate change, and Trump hatred running non stop through their pointy little heads.

The book must be racist as it does not portray class struggle. I heard Westinghouse was a cross dresser so that makes it acceptable.
Should be a good read. Tesla was legendary in the understanding the mechanics of electromagnetism.
i saw a good mini series on that topic, i think on the history channel. pretty interesting on how we ended up with the electric system we have.
Greedy white men........................without them we would still be sitting in caves and rubbing sticks together.
Yep I find it funny how the media and hollweird have to interject some Bl@ck person into a story where there is clearly none around in real life. They are getting desperate to show them in a good light but don't know where to look so they have to jam them in where they can and knock everything down where they cannot.
