Set in Cincinnati during the vibrant Industrial Age, and filigreed with family drama and epic ambition, Crosley chronicles one of the great, untold tales of the twentieth century. Born in the late 1800s in College Hill, Powel and Lewis Crosley were opposites in many ways but shared drive, talent, and an unerring knack for knowing what Americans wanted. Their pioneering inventions - from the first mass-produced economy car to the push-button radio - and their breakthroughs in manufacturing, broadcasting, and advertising made them both wealthy and famous. Cincinnati's largest employer as recently as sixty years ago, the Crosley Empire rose and fell in a single generation. Crosley is both a powerful saga of a heady time in American history and an intimate tale of two brilliant brothers navigating triumph and tragedy.
