The Inventor of Radio Was Killed by Corporate America

Posted by: Brian Fox Dougherty in Analysis, History, Technology

Edward Howard Armstrong’s end was particularly tragic as his quest for justice caused his wife to leave him, compelling him to commit suicide.

Below is Armstrong in a picture with the world’s first beach boom box.
