Tens of millions died during World War II as the warring powers raced to create the best fighter planes, tanks, and guns, and eventually that race extended to bombs which carried enough power to destroy civilization itself. While the war raged in Europe and the Pacific, a dream team was working on the Manhattan Project in America, a program kept so secret that Vice President Harry Truman didn’t know about it until he took the presidency after FDR’s death in April 1945. During this time, J. Robert Oppenheimer emerged as an extraordinary scientific mind in the United States.

In questo libro, scritto nel 1919, Tesla ci parla si sé, delle sue invenzioni, delle sue visioni, dandosi al lettore con una ingenuità e una sincerità disarmanti. Questa è la storia di un uomo che sembra essere stato proiettato dal futuro in un mondo per lui arretrato, quasi primitivo, senz'altro difficile. Un mondo a cui ha cercato di fornire delle soluzioni per liberarlo dalla guerra e dalla miseria, attraverso le sue scoperte e le sue invenzioni.
