War of the Currents: Nikola Tesla

About this ebook

HE TURNED NIGHT into day with the invention of alternating current which is still the standard today; he was the father of over one hundred patents, his genius was overshadowed by malefic individuals who called him a quintessential mad scientist; he was ripped off by Thomas Edison for fifty thousand dollars, and the FBI had a large dossier of him which later disappeared. In 1943 he was found dead.  

Ratings and reviews

The subject, Tesla, is great. The story is written like a high school book report, nothing but general knowledge that could be found in the synopsis of a good book on Tesla. Book was cheap so I guess I got what I paid for.

Short, not what I expected..this is supposed to be about the brilliant mind of Tesla. It was overly simplified and reads more like a synopsis or an introduction rather than a whole book about Tesla.

Do not buy this book, go read a wiki article on Nicola Tesla and you will learn more than you get in this book.
