Nikola Tesla: Imagination and the Man That Invented the 20th Century by Sean Patrick



I'm not really sure why I decided to read this book... maybe partly because it was free through Kindle, and partly because I haven't read a biography in a while.

I liked the book. It was interesting to hear about all the adversity that he went through. Many times he had several high powered men against him. Thomas Edison and his progress with Direct Current thought that Tesla's progress with Alternating Current was futile.Edison waged an all out war and smear campaign against Tesla. Big financiers like JP Morgan and Rockefeller teamed up with Edison to bring Tesla down. Mr. Westinghouse came along and he and Tesla partnered up to create something wonderful.
