A CKNOWLEDGMENTS
I first learned about Tesla in 1976, the same year that I began my life as a professional journalist. Since I was also studying parapsychology at that time, I had stepped into a very bizarre world where such things as telepathy, remote viewing, psychokinesis, UFOs, and life after death became plausible possibilities. In that sense, I had entered a minefield because it became very difficult to discern where reality ended and fantasy or wishful thinking began. But all that changed after I read John ONeills biography on Nikola Tesla titled Prodigal Genius and Teslas book of his lectures, articles, and patents. Yes, there certainly was a great deal of mystery and possible fantasy associated with Tesla, but one thing that was not fantasy were his patents, and thus the concrete, provable actuality of his accomplishments. I could see that Tesla was indeed the inventor of what we could call the AC hydroelectric power system, and at the same time, I could also see the numerous attempts to obscure his contributions and thereby relegate him to nonperson status.
I became fully committed to learning everything I could about his life, spending six years in the archives of several universities writing a doctoral dissertation on why his name disappeared from the history books and another dozen years honing a definitive biography.
Because of this work, not only did I gain an encyclopedic understanding of the details of Teslas life, but I also met amazing Tesla experts who helped me attain an even greater understanding of the full scope of his thoughts, theories, and achievements. In a way, this work culminated with me starring in the five-part History Channel miniseries The Tesla Files , which gave me access to another level of understanding that would have been impossible to glean in any other way. I was already working on a sequel to Wizard: The Life and Times of Nikola Tesla, Biography of a Genius when the show began, but as the show progressed, my understanding of Teslas life expanded, not only because of the help I received from Kevin Burns, the producer from Prometheus Films who made all this possible, and his production staff, but also because of a number of other people who contacted me from all corners of the globe to share additional esoteric information. Simply put, I was placed in a unique situation that gave me access to heretofore unknown or unpublished knowledge about Teslas life, details that could not have been obtained in any other way. Wizard at War is also shaped extensively by the use of primary sources, including numerous never before published letters to and from Tesla; information from his private notebooks from Colorado Springs and Wardenclyffe, from the Tesla Museum in Belgrade, the National Archives, the Library of Congress, and many university libraries, particularly the Butler Library at Columbia University, the University of Rhode Island, Harvard University, and Brown University; and information obtained from the FBI and the Office of Alien Property that was released to me through the Freedom of Information Act.
The list of people who helped me shape this book is long. And if I miss mentioning anybody, I apologize profusely. I can say, however, with certainty, that this book would not have been possible without the help I received from the following individuals: Kevin Burns for conceiving of The Tesla Files and for hiring and believing in me; numerous people from the show, including producers Joe Lessard, Scott Hartford, and David Silver, director Scott Rettberg, writer Rob OBrien, on-screen buddies Jason Stapleton and the absolutely brilliant rocket scientist Travis Taylor; Scott Stanley; Hunter Bartholomew; and Rebecca Banks for uncovering a memorandum by FDR on his interest in Nikola Tesla. Also New Yorker Hotel manager Joe Kinney, for providing me with an amazing letter Tesla wrote to the British War Office.
Other key individuals without whom this book in its present form would simply not have been possible include my screenplay writing partner and ultimate Tesla geek, Tim Eaton; people at Wardenclyffe, including Barbara Daddino, who, like Tim, sent me numerous key articles; Jane Alcorn, for sharing some amazing anecdotes and inviting me to speak at several conferences; Velimir Abramovi 
for his wonderful description of Teslas laboratory and meeting with Swami Vivekananda; Diane Draga Dragasevic for translating the letters between Tesla and Ambassador Fotic; and Lynn Sevigny, whose illustrations of Teslas particle beam weapon and Wardenclyffe tower, which can be found in Wizard , helped me in many ways. Numerous Tesla experts also helped immeasurably, in particular Branimir Jovanovic, head of the Tesla Museum in Belgrade, who has been my friend and colleague in this quest for over thirty years, and his predecessors, Alexander Marincic for first opening the door of the Tesla Museum in 1986 and inviting me to speak at several European conferences, and Vladimir Jelenkovi 
for gifting me several very expensive Tesla tomes; also, the museums research assistants, including Milica Kesler, Alexander Ivkovic, and Bratislav Stojiljkovic, who asked me to help decipher the handwriting of Marion Crawford.

Wasik, Phil Cozzolino and Scott Smith; Cameron Prince for taping a key lecture of mine on Tesla and the God particle and designing the highly regarded Tesla Universe website; Stanley Chang for providing a rare Tesla photo; Charles de laRoche for helping me obtain Russian documents; Ernst Willem, Nemanja Jevremovic, Herb Vest, and Vasilj Petrovic for talking me into going to the 2006 unveiling of the new Tesla statue on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls; Les Drysdale for creating that inspiring statue; Tom Valone for inviting me to speak in Washington; Steve Ward for explaining how the Tesla coil works; Steve Elswick for inviting me to speak at a half dozen international Tesla conferences held in Colorado Springs; Nenad Stankovic for publishing quite a number of my articles in his Tesla Magazine , and Irving Jurow, who was on-site working for the Office of Alien Property the very day Tesla died.
Other key individuals without whom the book would not have been possible include several who are no longer with us: Teslas grandnephew, William Terbo, who wrote the introduction to my first Tesla book; Elmer Gertz, who met Tesla at Vierecks apartment; Ralph Bergstresser, the last person to see Tesla alive and the one most responsible for forwarding Teslas top secret paper on his particle beam weapon to Andrija Puharich, who released it to the world and who helped me on other aspects of the book; Robert Golka, for constructing two gigantic Tesla towers and for stopping by my house on numerous occasions and sharing his wealth of knowledge; Bill Wysock; John Ratzlaff; and Leland Anderson, the godfather of Tesla researchers. Other key individuals who helped include Tom Bearden, Daniel Snyder, Ryan Cochrane, Nicholas Lonchar, David Hatcher Childress, Marina Schwabic, Goran Lazovich, Nancy Czito, Karen Bouchard, archivist from Brown University, Sheila Mason from the Miller Center, Dara Baker from the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library, filmmakers Dave Grubin and his Tesla film for American Experience, Donna Davies and her crew for Ruby Tree Films and Joe Sikorsky, for his movies Tower to the People and Invisible Threads and for creating a rather wonderful 1.5 minute promo for this book!; George Noory from the Coast to Coast radio show, and Howard Smukler for starting me on this entire quest by giving me the ONeill biography in 1976.
