This is the 2nd volume in Richard Dolan's series, "UFOs and the National Security State," which covers the UFO phenomenon from the 1940s to the present day. Volume 2, "The Cover-Up Exposed, 1973-1991," analyzes the UFO sightings, politics, and research that occurred during the last two decades of the cold war.
Working from archival sources, professional journals, and his own investigations, Dolan describes UFO encounters worldwide, demonstrating that the phenomenon is global, and the result of advanced technology.
Many cases involved sensitive military airspace. These include intrusions over U.S. air bases; attempts to intercept a UFO over Tehran; the landing of an unknown object near two airbases in Britain; large boomerang-shaped craft near New York City; unexplained triangular craft seen throughout the U.S. and Europe; strange objects in Earth orbit seen by Soviet and American astronauts; and encounters with UFOs from around the world.
Dolan also studies "UFO politics," describes the black-budget connection, and provides a geopolitical analysis to explain the whys and hows of UFO secrecy.
Finally, he provides a history of UFO research. He recreates the discussions and debates concerning alien abductions, animal mutilations, intelligence community infiltration into UFO research, the controversial MJ-12 documents, the Gulf Breeze controversy, reverse engineering of alien technology, crop circles, and more. Dolan also studies the effect of such new technologies as the Internet on UFO research.
This is a complete history of the phenomenon, the secrecy, and the response by researchers who sought to understand the mystery. Behind it all is the backdrop of a world in technological, economic, and political transformation. This book takes the reader through a turning point in the history of the UFO phenomenon, as well as the history of the modern world.

A Significant Contribution to UFO Research,
This review is from: The Cover-Up Exposed, 1973-1991 (UFOs and the National Security State, Vol. 2) (Paperback)
Much like Volume One of this series, "The Cover-Up Exposed" is an worthwhile history for those with a casual interest in the UFO subject, and a great Reference work for the veteran researcher. After reading Volume Two one can easily understand why it took so long to finish. Far too many controversial incidents and hot button issues surfaced durring this time period. Dolan does a fine job of sorting them out and presenting them as they occurred. He does this with objectivity and thoughtful personal insights.
A fine example is the way this author has handled the MJ-12 Controversy and related matters. From personal knowledge I can say that Dolan has done an excellect job of presenting these events and personalities in a well summarized form. He accepts the possibility of a very active Counter-Intellignce role in the UFO cover-up while examining this issue. And he presents all of this without jumping to conclusions! More important, Dolan is also willing to ask many questions when he does not have the answers. He will leave the individual subjects open ended so the reader or researcher can look into matters further for themselves (Plenty of References to help with that). Such a perspective is rare enough when so many in the field of Ufology think they already have all the answers! If there is a UFO Cover-Up, then perhaps it is rather foolish to have a great deal of certainty about what is being covered-up and why? There may be aspects and implications to this subject we barely understand. And "The Cover-Up Exposed" is a great way to get us thinking about them.

Simply the best researched UFO book I have ever found,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cover-Up Exposed, 1973-1991 (UFOs and the National Security State, Vol. 2) (Paperback)
What Mr. Dolan has accomplished in this second volume of ufo material is quite simply, to create a timeline of footnote driven easy to follow information on the ufo history in the US (and at times, overseas). This is not the definitive volume on any one ufo encounter, observance, or incident, but it is in my opinion the definitive resource (don't overlook volume 1 also which covers 1941-1973) one could utilize in their desire to dive deeper into an incident that interests them.
Dolan stands out as a researcher in the truest form as he reports his findings rather than draw a conclusion daring the reader to disagree. Dolan respects the reader and the topic matter to an exceptional degree. His ease of prose is also noteworthy. I had first heard of Mr. Dolan on Coast to Coast AM and was impressed with Mr. Dolan's candor and ability to convey research. His writings match his eloquent speaking ability. I highly endorse Mr. Dolan and applaud his work.

Compelling and informative,

This review is from: The Cover-Up Exposed, 1973-1991 (UFOs and the National Security State, Vol. 2) (Paperback)
The second volume of the planned trilogy of "Ufo's & The National Security State" follows the methodical coverage of the UFO events in America and other parts of the world between 1973 to 1991. As in the first volume, the narrative is fluid and well organized, making it a page turner. The cases and reports exposed are not just interesting but also well referenced. Dolan clearly delineates when a case is fully supported or is just unproven (but suggestive). In addition, Dolan presents a parallel account of world wide events that might have been affected by the narrative of the UFO cases covered by the book. Although the book follows the chronological account of cases as in the first volume, this volume hints at a possible evolution of the UFO narrative (or folklore, depending on the reader) in consonance with the rise of corporate power as the main factor of power in the developed world. This second volume, as the first does not look for a direct and simple answer to a multifaceted issue such as the UFO's, instead presents the existing evidence about the most relevant cases and allows the reader to shape an informed opinion. The only remaining issue is, when is the volume three going to come out!?
