The Truth About Tesla: The Myth of the Lone Genius in the History of Innovation

The Truth About Tesla is a groundbreaking biography that sets the record straight on one of history's most enigmatic figures.

Drawing on newly uncovered information, this book reveals how Nikola Tesla's contributions to electrical invention were obscured by nineteenth-century inventors and industrialists who took credit for his work or stole his patents outright.

The author, Christopher Cooper, sets out to prove that the conventional story of Tesla's life is flawed and denies credit to some of the true inventors behind many of the groundbreaking technologies now attributed to him.

With a provocative foreword by Tesla biographer Marc J.

Seifer, The Truth About Tesla traces the origin of some of the greatest electrical inventions to a coterie of colorful characters that conventional history has all but forgotten.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the true story of Nikola Tesla and the origins of modern technology.
