This is the story of a genius--the enigmatic and dramatic Nikola Tesla (1856-1943)--and his vast contributions to science. While Thomas Edison was thrilling engineers with development of the direct current motor, Tesla had already devised the far superior AC model which quickly became the worldwide industry standard. Tesla then set out to best himself by attempting large scale transfers of wireless electricity.
Tracing his life from its humble beginnings in Croatia, "Tesla - Master of Lightning" details his dramatic experiments with high voltages in New York and Colorado laboratories, his invention of radio, and his ground-breaking work in many other fields of science, including the fundamentals of computer and missile technology.

Many sidebars and 250 rare black-and-white images create an invaluable resource. Hailed by critics as the definitive work on Tesla.
