Reviews

Superb
*Nick Smith, Engineering and Technology magazine*

[This] crisply succinct, beautifully synthesized study brings to life Tesla, his achievements and failures...and the hopeful thrum of an era before world wars.
*Nature*

There have been other Tesla biographies, but this is the one I have been waiting for ... Tesla, he shows us, was - like his one-time boss and rival Thomas Edison - inventing nothing less than the electrified future.
*Philip Ball, author of Invisible: The Dangerous Allure of the Unseen*

Clear and engaging ... a pleasure to read
*Physics Today*
