“George Westinghouse is one of the almost forgotten technological leaders in American history.

This very well-done biography would be a worthwhile addition to any school library.” - Harold D. Shane, Library Journal

“You can be sure - to coin a phrase - that if a documentary has a title like this, it's about the history of the corporation that became famous for appliances and light bulbs.

- Patrick Cloonan, McKeesport Daily News
