The fate of Tesla, the creation of the combustion engine, the misadventures of Marie Curie, and the exploits of the Wright brothers and their very first airplane… With his delightfully offbeat humor, Libon takes us on a journey through time to revisit the greatest discoveries and inventions of past centuries. Balancing historical truths with delicious absurdities, he rewrites History like no one else can. After all, everything in this book that isn’t false is entirely true!
