Tesla vs. Marconi
From the Series STEM Smackdown (Alternator Books ® )

You’ll be captivated by the tale of two invention powerhouses facing off in a race to create the first long-range radio. In a battle filled with successes and setbacks, see how Marconi and Tesla set out to take home the gold. You’ll never look at the radio the same way again!
