From the acclaimed author of Birdmen comes a revelatory new history of
the birth of the automobile - an illuminating and entertaining true tale
of invention, competition, and the visionaries, hustlers, and swindlers
who came together to transform the world. With a narrative as propulsive
as its subject, Drive! plunges us headlong into a time unlike any in
history, when manic innovation and consumerist zeal coalesced to forever
change the way people got from one place to another.
