Mike Green

The Nearly Men is a collection of biographies of eight men who missed out on being the most celebrated men of their age. This is either due to vicious competition or benign neglect by their times and peoples. Mike Green can get a little intrusive with his parenthetical remarks. They tend to pull the reader out of the story and introduce an element of judgment that just isn’t necessary. Also, you tend to get a picture of Thomas Edison as a complete pain-in-the-ass. All in all, an interesting read.
