About this listen
The real inventor of the steam engine. The creator of the bra. The man who invented modern banking. The creator of the computer operating system. These and scores of others are the characters who populate Harold Evans's rollicking, brilliant history of the men and women who made America what it is.
Vast and beautifully designed, the book is itself a creation as grand as those it described. Evans reveals the surprising truths behind many of the creations that made our modem world, as well as the lessons we can learn by studying the great entrepreneurs and innovators the past two centuries.
"Terrific and inspiring stories about the dreamers and doers who dared to create the modem face of this great nation." —Jac Wech
