Anyone ever read "Empires of light"? I have seen the story of Edison, Tesla, and George on several History channel and Discoverly channel specials and read about the war of the currents on several web sites dedicated to those guys but this book is a great read, picked it up this weekend and cant put it down.

Another book similar to Empires of Light is called Fleet Fire. It too also discussed Edison and his battles with Westinghouse.
Another book or series of books that are very interesting and conver the history of power engineering is called Vistas in Power Engineering by Phillip Sporn. It is long out of print now, but is a 3 volume set. Anyone interested in the history and development of the power industry may find this interesting.
