I just finished this book: <a href="https://books.google.com/books/about/Tesla.html?id=5I5c9j8BEn4C" rel="nofollow">https://books.google.com/books/about/Tesla.html?id=5I5c9j8BE...</a><p>I thought it was really thorough and quite technical, so if you're interested in the early day of electricity more than just personal anecdotes, then this book might be for you :)
Read his life in his words:<p>The Strange Life of Nikola Tesla<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Strange-Life-Nikola-Tesla-ebook/dp/B00IJJBD82" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Strange-Life-Nikola-Tesla-ebook/dp/B0...</a>
Unfortunately most of my books are in storage at the moment and I can't get the exact details for you. But I do have a book on Tesla's inventions and patents. I found that very interesting. The diagrams and descriptions are very informative. I think the book is: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Patents-Nikola-Tesla/dp/1566192668" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Patents-Nikola-Tesla/dp/1566...</a>
Best is to experience it in person at Nikola Tesla museum in Belgrade, Serbia. It keeps his remains and many documents and ideas and attracts like-minded fans from around the world.

I might suggest this documentary. It focuses on the Wardenclyffe tower, crazy stuff if you never saw it.

I viewed the PBS documentary of Nikola Tesla a few days ago. It had useful information and I enjoyed it: <a href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/tesla/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/tesla/</a>.
I’ll put in a vote for Wizard: the life and times of Nikola Tesla. I knew very little other than “Tesla == weird genius”, and the book gave me a much deeper view of his work, from trying to run power through the ground to building drone boats.
