UNDERCOVER TOY STORIES, An Anthology of Real American Inventions, is a volume of business history told through citizen journalism. Rendered through spycraft, public records, and patented sketches—telling it like it is.
This book leads readers through seven decades of toy-making in America. From inventors who created Barbie, Hot Wheels, and playthings like Mouse Trap to Tonka Trucks, learn about the people, their inventions, and the generations of toy makers who made magic for children as they lived theirs.
Undercover Toy Stories is a collection of vignettes and essays written over years of research, interviews, and investigations. They focus on the industry’s good and evil, from success to failure, and injustice to triumph. With tales of murder, conspiracy, offshoring, and deep toy design, the stories contained within are not for the faint of heart.
So join the author on a long-running anthem of American childhood toys, told through history. Some stories are shocking and unbelievable, and a few came from military aerospace. Their inventive stories are not of fairy tales but of grounded realities—and a loss of innocence.
