Immanuel Velikovsky - The Truth Behind The Torment

Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky was one of the greatest scientists of modern times. However, because of his extraordinary findings in many different disciplines, he fell victim to one of the worst slandering campaigns since the Middle Ages.

This book is a supplement to Velikovsky's biography "ABA - The Glory and the Torment", written by his daughter Ruth. Here, she publishes original letters in their entirety, shedding a revealing light on the defamatory campaign Velikovsky and his scientific work have been subjected to by the scientific establishment down to the present day. In a second part, plasma physicist C.J. Ransom undertakes a reevaluation of Velikovsky's research from the point of view of recent scientific developments.

Dr. Ruth Velikovsky Sharon learned at the desk of her distinguished father, Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky, a prominent psychiatrist and eminent man of science whose genius engaged even the mind of his friend and contemporary, Albert Einstein.
Dr. Sharon received a B.A and M.A. degrees from New York University and a Ph.D. from the Union Institute and University. She is a graduate of the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies and a certified psychoanalyst.
