Dude, PBHoF is just down the road from me, I drop easily $20 every time I get a chance to go and play!

The “War of the Currents” was really fought between Edison and Westinghouse. Tesla's role was as inventor and more accurately electrical engineer for Westinghouse during the “war”. A good book to look up and read about all of this is, AC/DC: The Savage Tale of the First Standards War. Not a lot of technical, but it does tell the stories of all the players involved.

As for his penchant for electrocuting dogs, cats, cows, horses, elephants, and people. He (Edison) was opposed to capital punishment supposedly. In the book they talk about a guy named Harold Brown, he invented the chair. He was also the one who did the actual electrocutions of previously mentioned animals. All while trying to pass it off as scientific. Which, it really wasn't.
