The Men Who Built America

Although somewhat dramatic and overly repetitive, the twelve- episode History Channel series The Men Who Built America certainly offers plenty of perspective on how the industrial revolution in the late 19th and early 20th centuries transformed the world.

While the series features on five notable names, its cast includes many other players. In particular, Episode Six, which follows the development of electricity, is titled Edison vrs. Tesla. Although perhaps not given sufficient credit, George Westinghouse plays a supporting role.
