| Book Subtitle | The Life That Inspired The Major Motion Picture |
| Editorial Review | ... a superbly researched, entertaining and often saddening study of a man who gave the world so much yet took so little... It can only be hoped that Munson's excellent insight will finally reveal the truth behind this marvellous maverick to the world. -- All About History "Richard Munson's Tesla: Inventor of the Modern gives us a detailed and vivid glimpse of the competitive world of electrical innovation at the end of the 19th century, and emphasises the duality of his subject... most interesting and often amusing book..." -- The Spectator "Munson tells the story engagingly. He manages to explain the important concepts and technical details clearly while keeping extraneous detail to a minimum." -- Times Literary Supplement "Munson makes vivid the genius's eventful life, from his mother's inspirational labour-saving inventions to his psychological complexity - and his estimable belief that "technology should transcend the marketplace"." -- Nature |
