A mixture of facts and fiction,
This review is from: THE FANTASTIC INVENTIONS OF NIKOLA TESLA (The Lost Science Series) (Paperback)
One has to distinguish the fabricated "war of currents" remains from facts. This book failed to do so by reproducing a mixture of facts and fiction. Moreover, Chapter 9 is composed of heavily lifted content from various science fiction books and comics (often intended to discredit Tesla's name and work). Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book for any audience.
Get the book recommended by American Academy of the Advancement of Science "Wizard: The Life and Times of Nikola Tesla : Biography of a Genius" by Marc Seifer.
I would also recommend "Prodigal Genius: The Life of Nikola Tesla" by Pulitzer Prize-winning author John J. O'Neill.
Let's not forget "Tesla: Master of Lighting" by Margaret Cheney, Robert Uth and Jim Glenn, a definite book on Tesla.
