In 1992, Professor Seifer produced NIKOLA TESLA: THE MAN WHO HARNESSED NIAGARA FALLS , a small 56-page picture-oriented book, set up for people who visited Niagara Falls and also for young adults. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Seifer produced WIZARD: THE LIFE & TIMES OF NIKOLA TESLA . Often a #1 Amazon best-seller, WIZARD was called “DEFINITIVE!” and “REVELATORY!” by Publisher’s Weekly , “SERIOUS SCHOLARSHIP!” by Scientific American , “DEEP AND COMPREHENSIVE!” by Computing Reviews , a “MASTERPIECE!” by best-selling author Nelson DeMille, “One of the five best books on the brilliantly disturbed!” by the Wall Street Journal and “HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!” by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. As the years rolled on, Dr. Seifer continued to lecture on Tesla around the world, appearing at Brandeis University, the Mark Twain House, the Smithsonian, the Open Center in New York City, West Point Military Academy, at conferences in Zagreb Croatia, Belgrade Serbia, Oxford and Cambridge Universities in England, at the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston and at the United Nations. In 2017, Hollywood called, and asked Dr. Seifer to star in and help write the History Channel 5-part limited series THE TESLA FILES which went out to 40 countries. People from all around the world sent Dr. Seifer new material about Tesla and that resulted in TESLA: WIZARD AT WAR also available at Amazon. Like its predecessor, it too has received rave reviews. A number of people conferred with Dr. Seifer and the suggestion was raised to update NIKOLA TESLA: THE MAN WHO HARNESSED NIAGARA FALLS , and put into the book numerous pictures and documents, many of which have never seen the light of day for fifty or 100 years or ever. This updated version is now over 100 pages long and has numerous photographs, documents, letters to and from Tesla, and information derived from Dr. Seifer’s continuing research on this incredible inventor. Included herein are two letters signed by Franklin Roosevelt wanting Tesla’s help in a lawsuit when Marconi sued the U.S. Navy when Roosevelt was Assistant Secretary of the Navy in 1915, and later in 1943 when he was president and very interested in Tesla’s death ray when there was a real fear during World War II that the Nazis might build a nuclear bomb before the Allies so that America might need the death ray to protect the country from flying a V-2 rocket containing such a horrendous bomb into one of our major cities. Other unique images include a 1906 artist’s drawings of what the extraterrestrials who supposedly contacted Tesla in 1899 might look like, original letters to and from the architect Stanford White and his wife Bessie, socialite Daisy Maud Gordon, Katharine Johnson, wife of Tesla’s closest friend THE CENTURY editor Robert Underwood Johnson, a handwritten letter from Mark Twain to the Wizard, Tom Edison’s private handwritten notes describing his interest in constructing or purchasing a Tesla coil, Tesla’s own advanced mathematical calculations from his COLORADO SPRINGS NOTEBOOK , a letter from FBI director J. Edgar Hoover concerned that Tesla might give his secrets to some foreign government and a TOP SECRET communiqué from General Andrew McNaughton, head of secret weapons development for the British Empire who was working with Winston Churchill to Nikola Tesla wanting more information on his particle beam weapon. NIKOLA TESLA: THE MAN WHO HARNESSED NIAGARA FALLS is a completely original new look at one of the most exciting and far-reaching inventors of the last thousand years written by Dr. Marc J. Seifer, one of the world’s leading experts on this incredible inventor. Picture driven, this book is for both young adults and also anyone interested in an entirely new and different view of this extraordinary individual.
