How does a boy from a small Serbian village with no money, no connections and no powerful family name grow up to redesign the relationship between human civilization and electrical power, outthink the most celebrated inventor in America and conceive a system of free wireless energy for the entire planet that the world is still trying to build more than a century after his death?

Nikola Tesla's story does not read like history. It reads like something someone invented because the truth seemed too large to be real. Except every word of it is true.

This book takes you inside Tesla's extraordinary journey from a lightning-stormed birth in rural Serbia to the laboratories of New York where he literally rewired the modern world, covering every breakthrough, every stolen credit, every heartbreaking betrayal and every audacious idea that left civilization permanently changed.

Inside this book you will discover:

  • How a penniless Serbian engineer walked into Edison's office with an idea that Edison would spend millions trying to destroy.
  • The poem Tesla was reciting in a Budapest park when the invention powering every electric motor on earth today appeared in his mind.
  • Who really invented the radio and why the Nobel Prize went to the wrong man.
  • The financier who shut down Tesla's plan to give free electrical energy to the entire world.
  • The Colorado Springs experiment that sent sparks flying out of water faucets and had horses screaming in the streets.
  • Why the government seized every one of Tesla's papers within hours of his death before his body left the room.
  • How the man who held the patents that powered the twentieth century died alone and broke while the world he built carried on without him
