Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American, invented the radio, the induction
motor, the neon lamp and the remote control. His breakthrough came
in alternating current, which pitted him against Thomas Edison's
direct current empire and bitter patent battles ensued. But Tesla's
technology was superior and he prevailed. He had no business sense,
could not capitalise on this success and his most advanced ideas
were unrecognised for decades. Tesla's personal life was
magnificently bizarre. Strikingly handsome, he was germophobic and
never shook hands. He required nine napkins when he sat down to
dinner. In later years he ate only white food and conversed with
the pigeons in Bryant Park. This authoritative and highly readable
biography takes account of all phases of this remarkable life.
