The two brilliant minds clashed spectacularly, sparking the legendary War of Currents, a battle over whose electrical system would power the modern world.Tesla won the argument. His alternating current system became the global standard. He went on to develop technologies so far ahead of their time that they baffled even his admirers: wireless communication, the remote control, X-ray technology, and a plan to beam free electricity around the entire globe.Yet he died poor and alone in a New York hotel room. This biography gives him the recognition he deserves and gives young readers one of history's most spectacular scientific adventures.Inside you will find: Tesla's early life in Serbia and his extraordinary mind as a child.
