Editorial Reviews

Review

From the early days of European Witchery to modern day Ufology, Men In Black incidents have straddled the realms of mysticism and science, fantasy and reality. Since ancient times these mysterious beings have stalked the planet. Often seen at the scene of UFO sightings, these "beings" (dressed entirely in black) harass witnesses in an attempt to silence them. They intimidate those involved, confiscate videos and photographs, and snatch physical evidence. Are they simply government agents sent to threaten and confuse? Ghostly beings from another dimensions? Aliens? Or perhaps a manifestation of our own subconscious trying to come to terms with an increasingly complex world. Casebook On The Men In Black traces the path of these unusual visitors through history, and presents startling evidence about their origin and purpose. Fascinating reading. -- Midwest Book Review

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Feelings, December 3, 2000

By 

Joel Brown (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Casebook on the Men in Black (Paperback)

I read the other reviews. I must agree, the author quotes from a bunch of unheard of wacko sources. And personally, I won't advocate stories stemmed from narcosynthesis and hypnosis. At the start and end of this book I was very interested. At many epochs in between, I was tediously scanning unsupported MIB accounts. Disregard that one reviewer called this work scholarly. The reference to the eye in the triangle insignia intrigues me... You would think after reading this that if the victims of the reports were malevolently warned to keep silent, that the MIB would certainly not let this book be published to the masses, or maybe the alternative, it is simply not true. Only for the very interested.

Best quote from the book, p 115

"[The] three men are not just peculiar to 'Saucer' investigation, for there have always been 'three men' present during every great event of recored (and unrecorded) history. They operate as hired henchmen of the 'International Bankers' and their only duty is to suppress all men who would act as channels of truth to other men... These secret world rulers will never allow official UFO announcements to be made to the public. If they did allow it, it would spell their doom. If the technology of the space visitors is revealed it will immediately eliminate the need for oil, gas, automobiles, and practically everything else that drains the public and keeps every family in America on a credit-buying spree until they are deposited six feet under."

Please excuse me, there are three oriental men at my doorway

5.0 out of 5 stars Check out this book!, February 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Casebook on the Men in Black (Paperback)

Jim Keith has done a fantastic job exploring the very broad topic of Men in Black. He does so in a scholarly manner which is a surprisingly entertaining read. Oh, and not to worry -- there are plenty of fun accounts of "actual" MIB encounters.

1.0 out of 5 stars Assembly of quotes stretched to conform to Keith's view., April 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Casebook on the Men in Black (Paperback)

Keith's book is mostly an assembly of quotes from other books. It is largely unreadable and Keith makes no assertation that hasn't already been better made elsewhere. Keith is absolutely convinced his assertations are correct, but his arguements are thin. I got the feeling he only exposed himself to sources he would be certain supported his views. Not a "scholarly" effort at all. Read the books he quotes, you'll at least get a more complete picture. The book is a waste of money -- there's more reliable information on the web.
