Viac o knihe

A "revisionist biography of Alexander Graham Bell, telling the true--and troubling--story of the inventor of the telephone.

And yet by the end of his life, despite his best efforts--or perhaps, more accurately, because of them--Bell had become the American Deaf community's most powerful enemy"--
