Tesla

Wizard at War: The Genius, the Particle Beam Weapon, and the Pursuit of Power

By: Marc J. Seifer

Narrated by: Simon Vance

"In a few years hence, it will be possible for nations to fight without armies, ships or guns, by weapons far more terrible to the destructive action and range of which there is virtually no limit. Any city at any distance whatsoever from the enemy can be destroyed by him and no power on Earth can stop him from doing so." - Nikola Tesla, circa 1925

Drawing on 40 years of research and a treasure trove of new information, Tesla: Wizard at War provides a comprehensive view of Tesla's discoveries, which continue to influence today's military technology and diplomatic strategies. One of the world's leading Tesla experts, Marc J. Seifer, offers new insight into the brilliant scientist's particle beam weapon (aka the "Death Ray") and explores his military negotiations with pivotal historical figures - including his links to Joseph Stalin, Vannevar Bush, General Andrew McNaughton, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

From Tesla's role in the origins of Star Wars technology and his dynamic theory of gravity, to the real purpose behind the iconic tower at Wardenclyffe, this is an eye-opening account of Tesla's projects, passions, and ambitions - and an illuminating, important study of one of history's most intriguing figures.

A brilliant mind.

Packed with fascinating insights into his imagination and concepts of reality, his almost unbelievable volume of creative output, and surprisingly a glimpse into his personal life. Thoroughly satisfying.

A Footnote to Wizard

Excellent research. Well written. But more of a footnote to his first book, Wizard. Read//Listen to that first before tackling this one.

review from an electrician

this book will educate you on our current way of viewing electrical work. good job Simon, I first listened to a book you read before I became an apprentice electrician. Somehow your voice always brings me back to when my mom and dad were alive, I'd sit on our front porch every morning for an hour and listen to you read books like "girl with the dragon tattoo series".
As always, Simon can make almost any story a good one.

Awesome book
