Nikola Tesla: The Forgotten History - Paperback

by Yash Pratap Singh (Author)

Nikola Tesla: The Forgotten History is a narrative work of historical nonfiction that looks past the myth and into the systems that shaped Tesla's life. Instead of treating invention as a lone-genius story, this book follows the real machinery behind progress-institutions, investors, patents, infrastructure, and the politics of adoption. From Tesla's early formation and the AC/DC conflict to Niagara and Wardenclyffe, it traces how ideas become power only when the right networks, financing, and standards allow them to. Along the way, it separates engineering work from public legend, showing how media, celebrity, and business incentives simplified Tesla into an icon while the deeper work-history was left behind. Clear, investigative, and system-focused, this book is for readers who want Tesla as he existed in the real world: brilliant, constrained, and continually negotiated by the structures around him.
