More about "how" the tunnels are made then what's going on inside them

This was a very interesting book that revealed to me just exactly how the government, or anybody, could go about tunneling into the earth. While I was looking for a book that actually explained just what in the hell is going on down below, I wasn't disappointed with the information I had learned after reading. If you were writing a book or article about an secret underground base, this book would definitely come in handy.

Eye-opening and Revealing, Facts Abound

Sauder's work on Undersea & underground bases is really interesting, fact baed journey into a part of our reality we rarely see, hear about or discuss. His work is rivetted with facts, quotes from government documents, corporate websites, and different agencies. He also throws in quotes from anonymous insiders, but this isn't the force behind his work, and they exist solely in illustrate the facts he lays down. He opens with some common government underground installations. He shows us what's on the record and gives us glimpses of CIA, FEMA, US Military, NSA and many other installations that exist, underground and can be proven so by the available data. He then goes onto discuss the two sides of the US government, the everday apparent one we read about in Newspapers and see on TV and the completely invisible one that works with classified data, technology and black budgets. He quotes an excerpt from Blank Check: The Pentagon's Black Budget by Tim Weiner as follows: There are two governments in the United States today. One is visible. The other is invisible. The first is the government that citizens read about in their newspapers and children study about in their civics books. The second is the interlocking, hidden machinery that carries out the policies of the United States in the Cold War. He then goes on: These words were written by David Wise and Thomas Ross in the 1960s, at the height of the Cold War. More than 30 years have passed, the Cold War is now over (at any rate that is what the newspapers tell us), but the invisible government remains. And the secret underground bases fall within its clandestine domain. Out of sight, out of mind. Funded from the black budget, steathily constructed, operated by known and unknown, highly secretive agencies that carry out hidden agendas, without our knowledge, deep underground. In 1973, L Fletcher Prouty, a retired US Air Force Colonel, published an eye-opening book entitled, The Secret Team. Prouty held a unique position in the United States government. From 1955 to 1963 he was the liaison between the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Defense for military support of what he calls Special Operations. In this position he had access to a wide range of political, intelligence and military operatives - all the way from Washington, DC and the Pentagon to the far corners of the globe. He saw the full gamut of secret operations and policy making. The Secret Team which gives Prouty the title for his book, is a powerful, brutally violent and treacherous international octopus. It has operatives in the academic world (scholars), in intelligence agencies (spies), in the military (both officers and enlisted personnel), in private industry (businessmen & women), in the world of corporate and public sector high finance (bankers, financiers and stock brokers), in the news media (electronic & print journalists), in the publishing industry in the United States and abroa

Interesting and Informative...

This book is a sequel to Richard Sauder's "Underground Bases and Tunnels" and, as one might expect, this second book is a bit more polished and includes new material. The included photos and drawings are very well incorporated with the text, and the author includes thorough footnotes (and one must remember that some sources are anonymous, due to the secret and classified nature of government "black" projects). The writing style is at times tiring, as Mr. Sauder redundantly reminds the reader that he cannot prove much of what he has presented. But that is the nature of the subject material, and I certainly do feel that the author did the best he could with all the information that was available to him. All things considered, I recommend this and also Richard Sauder's first book, mentioned above.

They are really doing it.

This book shows what the secret U.S. government is really doing, and what they are capable of. It does not dabble into speculation because it's to secret to even know.

Good Reference Book

I purchased this book as a piece of reference material, and it's served me fairly well. The chapter on the high speed rail system could have been shorter, and filled with more of the author's material rather than direct copies of files from various agencies involved with plans to construct the railway. I found the direct inclusion of such source materials in chapters to be rather cumbersome. Perhaps they should have been included at the rear of the book, but large percentages of chapters shouldn't have been composed of them. The author also tries to build up a vague "conspiracy" scenario to attach to the facts about these underground facilities, without going so far as to slip to the level of Roswell alien fueled propaganda. (The author says he believes if anyone's conducting experiments in these facilities, they're no doubt human. Sorry, no aliens here.) I still felt this detracted from the work. Especially annoying was the author's claim early on that he was contacted mentally late one evening by someone using a thought transmission device. While the inclusion of the device patent was interesting, and such technology is indeed in existence, (in developmental form) it just didn't seem appropriate to mention it. But who can blame him? Due to all the conspiracy claims, and talks of extraterrestrial beings being stored at these facilities, there's scarcely a market for these sorts of works outside the popular UFO culture enshrouding America today. People want their aliens, and have no patience for authors who don't deliver. In the future massive underground transportation and residential facilities may dispel a lot of the popular myth surrounding the technique of underground and underwater building, and this book will serve as a standard by which future books into the world of clandestine underground and underwater construction will be measured against.
