Publisher's Synopsis
Many books and articles have been written about Nikola Tesla's scientific achievements, but none of them succeed in stating these highly technical problems as clearly and understandably as Tesla himself does in his own writings and lectures. On the other hand, comparatively little has been written about Tesla the man. Therefore a special vote of thanks is due the late John J. O'Neill for his book, PRODIGAL GENIUS: THE LIFE OF NIKOLA TESLA, a painstaking character study of the great scientist, his family and his background.
