Nikola Tesla Books
In view of the deep desire on the part of the vast majority of the American people to place credit where it belongs, it would have appeared only fitting that the estab-lished genius of the great electrical scientist, Dr. Nikola Tesla, would have received the attention of American statesmen and the full recognition of the American people.

THE PRODIGAL GENIUS: THE LIFE OF NIKOLA TESLA
(Ives Washburn, Inc., New York City, 1944).
If this material has aroused your interest in Dr. Nikola Tesla it is highly recommended that you obtain a copy of the biography on Tesla written by John Joseph O'Neill in 1944. This book can be found in libraries or may be ordered through most book stores.
John J. O'Neill was the science editor for the New York Herald Tribune. He had known Dr. Tesla personally for a period of 40 years. Being a science editor and close friend and confidant of Tesla he was well qualified to write a biography on the Master Scientist, Nikola Tesla. Dr. O'Neill had first met Tesla as a boy when he worked as a page in the New York City Library. His interest in science developed through his contact with Tesla. Mr. O'Neill later became one of America's foremost science editors.
