Tesla and the Great War — Explored in Tesla: Wizard at War

Tesla: Wizard at War — The Genius, the Particle Beam Weapon, and the Pursuit of Power, by Marc J. Seifer

The international bestseller Tesla: Wizard at War: The Genius, the Particle Beam Weapon, and the Pursuit of Power is a formal objective essay with hints of how Nikola Tesla built consensus to create a weapon so powerful that it would discourage war. The book discusses groundbreaking ideas, interactions with historical figures, and the impact of research and inventions on history and current military technology. Author Marc J. Seifer introduces interactions with Joseph Stalin and Franklin D. Roosevelt, as well as many of Tesla’s other personal relationships during the First World War and leading up to the Second World War. Seifer displays Tesla’s research, inventions in powerful technology with limitless range, and his ambition to succeed at abolishing war.

The book is a composition of released correspondence and documents with public figures, celebrities, scientists, and friends related to Tesla’s technical innovations.  It details projects interesting to the U.S. government that Tesla hoped would end war as we knew it. Seifer’s decades of research and speaking engagements about Tesla are displayed throughout the book. He discusses the invention of a particle beam weapon and wireless power with limitless range during the time of the First World War.

The book shares many writings describing his ideas and projects, specifically surrounding the search for a particle beam weapon. In his writings he describes alternating currents that will travel farther and power more technology, wireless technology, small, unmanned ships, launch of a giant wireless tower to eliminate the use of fuel, a particle beam weapon, and many more inventions. It includes Roosevelt’s inquiry into research on the newest technology, specifically technology that could give any wartime advantage.

The ideas and inventions discussed in the book were of great interest to many influential individuals. They could benefit many groups of people and influence the advancement of ideas of many nations during a pivotal time in history. The manuscript leads to the belief that many of Tesla’s writings were seized after his death and have only recently been released for public review. These writings were so useful that today we still see government and private party projects expanding on the ideas and works.

This volume discusses Tesla’s ideas, inventions, writings, and pursuit of support for his work. It reviews his relationships and sharing of his ideas and inventions with influential individuals, such as how Tesla was able to encourage influential individuals to work with him and develop and distribute the ideas and inventions, and how he influenced others with his ideas and altered thinking about the course of the war. The book is insightful and helpful in understanding Tesla, his beliefs, and desire to end war.
