About this listen

"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 fool. Who clearly in his time on Earth deserved all that life threw at him. He behaved as though "Humanity owed him something"

In his quest for World peace all he did was give us more weapons to kill ourselves with. A luminaire, I think not.

Every Inventor, genius and poly math, Has their lives spoilt by those with power. Am I richer for his life. No.

My life is now shorter and I am only 64. The paradox in life, is it matters not who you are but the lives that you touch while you are here.

Wisdom is being able to know the difference. May your God go with you.
