This is history told through family, through the accumulation of choices and betrayals and survivals across generations. Brown brings the same meticulous research that distinguished Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, but here he channels it into fiction, giving voice to people the historical record often silenced. đ The result has been praised for its âdark, inexorable energyââa story that moves with the weight of inevitability.

Electric City: The Lost History of Ford and Edisonâs American Utopia
Thomas Hager

Biographies of Business Professionals
During the Roaring Twenties, Henry Ford and Thomas Edison proposed something audacious: transforming one of Americaâs poorest regions into a dream technological metropolis. ⥠Their âDetroit of the Southâ would be ten times the size of Manhattan, powered by renewable energy, free of air pollution, and designed to reshape American society itself.
The plan included mass commuting by car, a new currency called âenergy dollars,â andâfrom Ford and Edisonâs perspectiveâthe added benefit of crippling the growth of socialism. đ Southerners rallied behind what became known as the Ford Plan, seeing it as a way to conjure the future and reinvent their region. Others saw it as one of the biggest land swindles of all time. They were all correct.
Hager chronicles this extraordinary forgotten chapter of American history, offering fresh perspective on two of the nationâs most revered figures. Ford and Edison werenât just inventors and industrialistsâthey were utopian dreamers whose vision almost reshaped the Tennessee Valley. đ The forces that opposed them, and what rose in their placeâthe Tennessee Valley Authority, one of the greatest achievements of the New Dealâmake for a story of ambition, idealism, and unintended consequences.
This is history that reads like speculation: renewable energy, planned cities, alternative currencies, the tension between private enterprise and public good. đĄ A century later, the questions Ford and Edison raised remain unresolved.
Hereâs what youâre getting: a rich, surprising history of the American utopia that almost wasâand the public institution that emerged instead. đ Perfect for readers interested in technology, politics, and the roads not taken.

The journey becomes the story, and the question of what sheâll decide when she arrives provides all the suspense the narrative needs.
Westlake proves that a page-turner doesnât require a bomb ticking down or a body in the trunk. The sparks here come from conversation, from the slow revelation of character, from two people sharing confined space across thousands of miles. đ Itâs witty, thought-provoking, and surprisingly romanticâa wild road trip that demonstrates Westlakeâs range extended far beyond the heist novels and comic capers heâs known for.
Stephen King called Westlakeâs work âcause for happiness,â and this final unpublished novel shows why. ⨠The voice is unmistakable, the pacing impeccable, and the central questionâwill she or wonât she?âproves that human decisions can generate as much suspense as any crime.
Hereâs what youâre getting: a delightful discovery from a beloved master, proving that the best suspense comes from caring what happens to people. đ˝ A must-read for Westlake fans and anyone who loves a great road trip story.

In late June 1862, Robert E. Leeâs Army of Northern Virginia drove back McClellanâs forces from the gates of Richmond. âď¸ The Confederate capital was safeâfor the moment. But another threat soon emerged: the Army of Virginia under Major General John Pope, moving toward Fredericksburg and threatening Confederate communications, supply lines, and Richmond itself.
Pope had a reputation as something of a braggart, but heâd scored victories along the Mississippi at New Madrid and Island No. 10. Lincoln hoped heâd replicate that success in Virginia. đď¸ Pope brought a harder philosophy of warâone that would pressure not just Leeâs army but Virginiaâs civilian population.
