Who was Nikola Tesla?

---

Who Was Nikola Tesla? by Jim Gigliotti presents the life and groundbreaking work of one of history’s most brilliant inventors. Born in 1856 in present-day Croatia, Nikola Tesla possessed an extraordinary imagination and a fascination with electricity from an early age. The book follows Tesla’s journey from his education in Europe to his move to the United States, where he worked with Thomas Edison before pursuing his own ideas. It explains Tesla’s major contributions, including the development of alternating current (AC) power systems, radio technology, and numerous other innovations that shaped modern science and industry. Gigliotti also touches on Tesla’s eccentric personality, visionary ideas, and struggles with financial stability despite his genius. Written in an accessible style for young readers, this biography offers a portrait of a man whose inventions transformed the world, yet whose life was marked by both triumph and hardship.
