The Electric War was one of my favs. I also read Tesla vs Edison, The Lifelong Feud That Electrified a Nation, and it really gets down and dirty about their feud on a personal level and shares some of the dirty stuff Edison pulled while trying to ruin Tesla. Lots of drawings and pictures in that one as well.

Edited: Corrected title of second book after finding it in my bookshelf. It wasn't Lifelong War it was Lifelong Feud.

Not playing locally.
After I posted I saw it bombed out.

I didn't know Harvey Weinstein produced it.


It's only showing here one one theater. After three weeks, that's not good.

Probably because Tesla, Edison, and Westinghouse are all dudes. Clearly sexist.

Huh? Most younger generations believe Tesla was a genius and Edison was the one who stole his inventions.



To be fair, Tesla was a genius. Way way smarter than Edison. And Edison didn't steal Tesla's inventions but he stole the inventions of many others and did all kinds of shady shenanigans to Tesla.
