Tesla was quirky and different, and was pushed into a corner by the more popular, but less talented Thomas Edison.  Edison pushed DC while Tesla pushed AC.  As you know, virtually everything today runs on AC.  However, Tesla didn't have powerful friends like Henry Ford and Teddy Roosevelt, like Edison, so obscurity was his lot.  Thankfully, he is finally rising to prominence, and books like this help.  He was a man half a century ahead of his time and it took time over half a century for the American public to catch up with him..
