A great introduction to the genius of Tesla - By: Ed Long, 26 Aug 2002 
This is a well written biography of Tesla which gives a factual account of his unbelievable career. It shows that he was an engineer; his inventions worked because he did the theory to ensure they did. He was way ahead of his contemporaries, including Marconi & Edison, & this books should bein every degree course.
Sure you want this book! - By: , 22 Jul 2002 If you like biographies about great persons, this book has its natural place side by side with "Genius" (James Gleich about Richard Feynman).
And when you have read it, you'll become amazed why Tesla isn't as famous as Einstein (or Feynman).
Unlike many books about Tesla, this is about facts - & what facts! There are no place to myths about Tesla, the facts are enough - & this is the book where you'll find them.
A reliable & well written book about a true wizard of science - a wizard that made life easier to billions - & "how" & "why" he did it.
The Best Tesla Biography to Date - By: Michael D. Hicks, 12 May 2002 A factual, academic Tesla biography, without any of the usual sensationalism of his being sent from other planets!
Extremely well written, the book reads like a novel & also acts as an excellent reference work.
The Margaret Cheney & Robert Lomas books make a good introduction to a man who was a rather complex subject, but this book really does add so many layers to his character that to any serious student of Tesla or his work this should be an essential part of their library.
Fabulous book on the genious of N. Tesla, a MUST READ - By: , 04 Feb 1999 I read the 1998 softcover edition & LOVED IT! I first saw the name "TESLA" as a "brand" name on the television setsin eastern Europe. My curiosity up, I searched Amazon.com & found this book. I became a TESLA fan immediately! TESLA had the greatest inventive genius of the 20th century, & most of his key patents were filedin the 1890's !! HE WAS SO FAR AHEAD OF HIS TIME that some of his work is still labeled "TOP SECRET" by the U.S. government today. This book is a lessonin history, conspiracy, industrial espionage, science, corporate power & the sheer awesome genius of TESLA, whose name SHOULD be taught to every school child....before that of EDISON !!!
The best Tesla Biography to date - By: , 21 Dec 1998 This book is without a shadow of doubt the BEST book on Tesla ever written. If you're looking for non-technical Tesla information, this is the book to buy!
