Four contributors to Invisible Giants: Fifty Americans Who Shaped the Nation But Missed the History Books, edited by Mark Carnes and published by Oxford University Press, sat down to discuss their selections. The book’s editor, Mark Carnes, asked fifty authors to each select one person from the American National Biography who they feel had done something extraordinary, but whom history has forgotten. The event was moderated by Casper Grathwohl, the editor at Oxford University Press who conceived the idea for Invisible Giants. close
