Audiobook Review -- America 1908, by Jim Rasenberger

I recently finished the latest audiobook I checked out of the library. America 1908 by Jim Rasenberger, as one might expect, focuses on the year 1908, a year of momentous changes and accomplishments in America. It was the year Wilbur and Orville Wright demonstrated the possibilities of human flight and Henry Ford began producing the Model T automobile, which first made the machines that we depend on so heavily available to the masses. There was a race that year to be the first person to make it to the North Pole and a global automobile race. Rasenberger depicts 1908 as a turning point in history and the beginning of the modern era.
