"Nikola Tesla invented the radio, robots, and remote control. His electric induction motors run our appliances and factories, yet he has been largely overlooked by history. In Tesla, Richard Munson presents a comprehensive portrait of this farsighted and underappreciated mastermind." -- Publisher's description

Review of 'Tesla' on 'Goodreads'

This was a lot more exciting than I thought it could be.
I have read and heard a lot about Tesla over the years, some true, some myth, but I enjoyed this more than two earlier biographies I read awhile ago. It was a very entertaining biography and the pace was just right. It turns Tesla back into a human being while still showing how important and interesting he was. Recommended.
