How Thomas Edison Powered the 20th Century — and the Rivals Who Tried to...

The unbelievable real childhood story of Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, and the shocking rivalry known as the War of Currents. His ideas lit the world, powered industries, and shaped the 20th century. 

The story you didn’t hear at school about Thomas Edison, born premature, growing up nearly deaf, and labeled “unteachable” before age ten.

 But his mother saw what teachers missed.

 She taught him at home.

 And his mind exploded into invention.

He built a printing press on a moving train at age twelve, launching early mobile publishing.

He learned telegraphy after saving a child from a train track, which began his obsession with signals and electricity.
