Nikola Tesla’s Missing Papers
The Files the Government Never ReturnedBy Thomas LokiLength57m
About this audiobook
He died alone. By morning, the government had his papers.
Nobody asked his family. Nobody waited for probate. Within hours of Nikola Tesla's death in January 1943, federal agents were in his room, opening his trunks, and removing decades of private research under wartime authority.
Some of it came back. Most of it did not. Four boxes listed on an official shipping manifest simply vanished, and the government has never accounted for them.
This book goes looking for them.
Drawing from FBI files, declassified government correspondence, and archives on two continents, Nikola Tesla's Missing Papers reconstructs exactly what was taken, who examined it, and what has never been explained. The trail is real. The gaps are documented. And the files that do survive raise questions that the ones that disappeared cannot answer.
