OP if you're interested in the development of early electric land-to-sea communication, Erik Larson's [Thunderstruck] (http://www.amazon.com/Thunderstruck-Erik-Larson/dp/1400080673) is an amazing read on the subject, as well as how this technology helped lead to the arrest of a wanted murderer.
There is a really good book on Dr. Crippen and the development of wireless technology...Thunderstruck by Erik Larson.
The implication was that we would not have our AC power system without him. That is patently false. We may not have a polyphase motor without him, but that doesn't constitute "inventing AC". Most people will go for their whole life without ever seeing a three phase motor.

I also have a Master's in EE, so I have read quite a few texts that touch on electrical engineering history.
