Review
"Baldwin has demythologized the man and left the genius bigger than life."-David Gates, "Newsweek"
"Edison has been the subject of many earlier biographical studies, yet Mr. Baldwin sees more clearly than the rest how Edison's life was his greatest invention."-G. Pascal Zachary, "Wall Street Journal"
"In this scrupulously detailed, thoroughly captivating biography, Neil Baldwin presents America in a man--as strange, obsessed, and tangled and brilliant as the age he literally illuminated. After reading "Edison", you wonder how it is possible to understand the country without him."--Roger Rosenblatt--Roger Rosenblatt
