War of the Currents is the abbreviated biography of the brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla, nicknamed the genius who walked alone. This second edition contains copies of original files confiscated by the FBI immediately after his death.

He turned night into day with the invention of alternating current which is still the standard today; he was the father of over one hundred patents, his genius was overshadowed by malefic individuals who called him a quintessential mad scientist, he was ripped off by Thomas Edison for fifty thousand dollars, and the FBI maintained an extensive dossier about his inventions and whereabouts, which later disappeared. In 1943 he was found dead and impoverished in a small hotel room in New York.
