A book published in 2015 which I read but decided Though Dr. Land came up with the idea of Polaroid he would be in a legal battle with Kodak which really led to the downfall of both companies. Having grown up in this era and using both products I never knew of the battle and that was an interesting part of this book. As was the number of patients he had. It was strange as a kid I had heard his name being associated with the U-2 spy plane from Lockheed with work on the camera and lens, what I did not know was about the work he did during WWII and other work during the cold war. What is really amazing is his over 500 hundred patents and then the long drawn-out court battle with Kodak. I found this to be an interesting book about a fascinating man.
