What if the world’s greatest geniuses weren’t just visionaries—but keepers of dangerous secrets? The Shadow of Genius: Hidden Truths Behind History’s Great Figures uncovers the forbidden stories, rivalries, and cover-ups that shaped the modern world yet were erased from official history. From Tesla’s silent war with Edison to the Vatican’s secret experiments, from forgotten inventors buried by empire to scientists whose brilliance became their curse—each chapter reveals the unsettling truth behind humanity’s most celebrated minds.

Mark Wall’s storytelling blends historical accuracy with cinematic depth, transforming well-known figures like Leonardo da Vinci, Lise Meitner, and James Watt into living symbols of ambition, betrayal, and the double-edged price of progress. Every page exposes the invisible thread that binds discovery to consequence—the hidden cost of human advancement.

If you’ve ever wondered what history left out, this book will change how you see invention, power, and the very meaning of genius itself. Step into the shadows where truth hides behind brilliance… and brilliance hides behind madness.

Perfect for readers of historical thrillers, secret histories, and books like The Secret Lives of Genius or Sapiens, this volume invites you to question what you thought you knew about progress.
