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

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.

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.

In short summary, this book is an outright disgrace. My apologies to all UFOlogists who came here to find enlightenment, you certainly won't find it here!

The author belates the point by making insane references to books nobody has heard of (which are probably just imaginary books from imaginary authors), and makes no attempt to clarify any of the incompetent and outrageous statements he puts forth.

If you go for this stuff as entertainment, this book may provide a laugh or two--like a particularly well-crafted X files episode--but if you seek true enlightenment through these pages, you're in for quite a disappointment.

Jim Keith had to have been smoking something when he wrote this book. He has NO hard evidence and rants on about information which was clearly made up and horribly organized.DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ENLIGHTENMENT. If you want to read a bunch of bs by some whacked out author who has nothing better to do with his time then read it.
