Number of Stars is Joking You

Why so many reviewers gave this book only a few stars and no comments is a mystery. It's a thoroughly researched and documented military history tome. Despite it's depth, the writing is gripping and entertaining. Learning what our, or any technological nation, will do for the sake of intelligence and security is breathtaking. I'm impressed by how many of the original participants in Roswell and Area 52 were called upon and interviewed. This book must have taken most hours of several years to compile and form. Vast in its coverage and uniquely qualified in subject matter. Brilliant researcher and author. Must have book for any collections about modern warfare, espionage, or the Cold War. I defy anyone interested in this topic to offer a better treatment. Amazing.

It was too hard to put down. Soo much information almost hard to comprehend. Enjoyed it so much I bo
