Mrkich takes a fresh look at the early life and times of Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), the inventor of alternating current the Tesla Coil, induction motors, radio (in 1943, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Marconi’s patent in favour of Tesla), steam turbine, fluorescent light, remote-control, and numerous other inventions in the generation and transmission of electric power. This book describes Tesla’s genius, his attachment to his Serbian roots, and why he left Europe for America at the age of 28.
