Hiram Percy Maxim Mass Market Paperback – June 1, 1998

The book concentrates on the personal life of this great inventor but also gives an overview of his technical achievements in the automotive and radio fields. I read the book in high school over 20 years ago and used it for the basis of numerous book reports and research papers. Although the current staff of the American Radio Relay League are mostly self-serving, money hungry businessmen, it is worthwhile to understand the noble principles set forth by the founder.Written at an easy level, young radio amateurs will enjoy this book very much.Much of the material presented in the first part of this book is paraphrased from "A Genius in the Family," by Hiram Percy Maxim.
