This was a great free book, although a short one. I should warn, however, that the first part does not talk about Tesla, but rather the nature of greatness. This rather long prologue of sorts was not boring by any means, many interesting historical anecdotes were given on a variety of famous people. If you are only interested in reading about Tesla, however, you will need to skip nearly a third of the book. That being said, I enjoyed both parts thoroughly. Tesla has long been a hero of mine, a greatly misunderstood genius, constantly done in by unscrupulous men and his own sense of generosity and fair play. I've often wondered if Tesla had had a ruthless but devoted manager to keep the wolves at bay, how many more brilliant theories and inventions would he have created? Sadly, the world will never know, we must just be grateful for what he did accomplish.
