The extraordinary, unknown story of two giants of American history—Henry Ford and Thomas Edison—and their attempt to create an electric-powered city of tomorrow on the Tennessee River During the roaring twenties, two of the most revered and influential men in American business proposed to transform one of the country’s poorest regions into a dream technological metropolis, a shining paradise of small farms, giant factories, and sparkling laboratories. Henry Ford and Thomas Edison’s “Detroit of the South” would be ten times the size of Manhattan, powered by renewable energy, and free of air pollution. And it would reshape American society, introducing mass commuting by car, use a new kind of currency called “energy dollars,” and have the added benefit (from Ford and Edison's view) of crippling the growth of socialism. The whole audacious scheme almost came off, with Southerners rallying to support what became known as the Ford Plan. But while some saw it as a way to conjure the future and reinvent the South, others saw it as one of the biggest land swindles of all time. They were all true.Electric City is a rich chronicle of the time and the social backdrop, and offers a fresh look at the lives of the two men who almost saw the project to fruition, the forces that came to oppose them, and what rose in its stead: a new kind of public corporation called the Tennessee Valley Authority, one of the greatest achievements of the New Deal. This is a history for a wide audience, including readers interested in American history, technology, politics, and the future.

I thought it was well written. When I saw this book was being published I went ahead and preordered. I live in North Alabama and grew up on Wheeler lake. The TVA and hydroelectric energy are ubiquitous here and have been for almost 100 years. The story of the New deal and electrification of the south are well known, but with the exception of hearing of Ford City, I didn’t realize what the actual plans were in the 1920s or about Fords bid and plan for a utopia.The book, though non-fiction, skips over some gritty details to read more like a novel. I appreciated that, and rather liked the author’s style.It’s a good book if you like the history of the South, politics, or engineering of any type.
