Erik Larsons best work if you like the history of wireless and the early failed attempts at understanding wavelengths. They did not know that short waves traveled in the ionosphere better than long waves. The personal stories of Marconi and Dr. Crippen dovetail wonderfully, both dealing with failed marriages, one ending in murder, the other an agreeable end was reached so both parties could go on living. Good to know times have changed somewhat from 1910's expectations of marriage and the concept of divorce.
