The telephone gambit; chasing Alexander Graham Bell's secret.

From researching Bell's notebook, patent applications for the telephone, and scholars' doubts, the Massachusetts science writer debunks long-held views of the famous inventor. Shulman convincingly makes a case for its invention by Elisha Gray, who initially underestimated its commercial potential. The book is a Bell biography-cum-tale of scientific/corporate intrigue with period photos, illustrations pertaining to patents, and extensive references.
