The Battle for Wardenclyffe
If you are interested in what transpired between Nikola Tesla and John Pierpont Morgan, I have great news for you!
After Tesla's death in 1943 many of his private letters have been saved on microfilm. I believe this microfilm is available in an American library, but I don't know which. Yet, prints have been made of these microfilms and they can be ordered online. If you do you'll get a huge pile of roughly 2700 A4's, each showing one page of a letter.
Many of these are barely legible, some are too dark or too washed out and often the handwriting just can not be deciphered.
A couple of years ago I started a community project on the energetic forum to transcribe these letters so that their texts would become available to everyone who wanted more insight in the person of Tesla and his work.
With the help of a few members many of the 2700 letters have been transcribed and can be found on that forum, but they are not nicely formatted and they are all mixed up.
The intention of the project has always been to use these transcriptions in publications, but until recently that has not happened.
Until recently, because from today part of these letters is available in a small booklet on Amazon.
It concerns the letters of Tesla exchanged with J.P. Morgan sr. concerning the Wardenclyffe project.
All letters that fall in this category plus a few related ones plus a couple of newspaper articles and a little context are now combined in this book and they tell the story of Wardenclyffe as it was felt by those directly involved.
I believe it is a unique chance for those who want to know what really happened instead of all the speculation that you will encounter everywhere.
Have a look and know that with your purchase you are supporting my project to revive Tesla's dream; his Magnifying Transmitter.
THANK YOU!

I wrote a review on Amazon:
"For those who plan on bringing great change to our future with new technologies (i.e. startups), this is a serious lesson in trust and budgeting. Tesla has left a waterfall of evidence that he was on the right track but failed to secure his path forward by trusting/putting his eggs in one basket out of his own confidence. This book lays out how this inventor and investor relationship went south. True, a very sad story for Mr. Tesla, but a very very sad story for the population at large for the following years. While most will blame/stop at Tesla being a savant who doesn't understand relationships, the proper mindset is to learn from this genuine mistake (still commonly made today in different subject matter) and pick up where our ancestors last left off. Like picking up a flag of a fallen soldier versus scolding the soldier for being shot. This book highlights some great discussion/debate points that me and my co-founders are having because of this book. I strongly recommend this book for those who want to understand."
FANTASTIC!
