This is among the best book on UFOs I have read. Others are "Alien Agenda" (Jim Marrs) and "UFOs and the National Security State" (Richard Dolan). The author presents an alternative view behind the real causes of many major world events for the past 70 years (a hidden ET presence on Earth). Although mainstream society may scoff at some of his theories, he presents very powerful evidence, quoting from a variety of sources. Although some of the "whistleblowers" claims, border on the fantastic, like the mysterious Dr. Neruda saying that BST (Blank State Technology-the most advanced form of time travel) is being developed by some rogue elements within the NSA, they are presented in a very coherent, intelligent fashion, which make them very difficult to ignore. Dr. Salla is a very brave man for a Ph.D, presenting a theory, which may be ridiculed by mainstream science, society and the media. Do read this book only if you have an open mind, otherwise don't spend 50 bucks and then blame the author. It may change your view of our planet. It certainly has mine.

"In due course there will be various departments of extraterrestrial studies in every university and college in America. And that powerful and appropriate circumstance will owe much to Michael Salla."
-Stephen Bassett
Executive Director of the Extraterrestrial Phenomena
Political Action Committee

"Exopolitics represents the biggest fork in the road for mankind. This book is essential reading."

-Duncan M. Roads, Editor, NEXUS Magazine.

"Michael Salla postulates that since at least the 1930s every major war and policy decision has been in response to an undisclosed extraterrestrial presence on Earth.

-Jim Marrs
author of Rule by Secrecy and Alien Agenda

Few recent UFO books in my library have made significant contribution to the field, but this one sure did. There's so much conspiracy theory out there that you could spend years exploring it, but Salla draws it all together into focus, all the while keeping in mind the question, "What exactly does it take to convince a jury?" But wait, there's more!

Salla's book is multi-faceted. It's a political analysis AND a conspiracy theory. Whilst most researchers might be tempted to enter into endless phylosophical political debate, Salla approaches his thesis by building a framework on the assumption that, since there has already been a long standing ET presence, we already have an exopolitcal relationship - a very dubious and clandestine relationship - one that desperately needs to be exposed before mankind can move forward.

Salla reviews all the major conspiracy theories, not because he beleives them, but because that's what an impartial scientific person does. He rates his sources, so you don't have to, and confesses that, although one particular source might not seem reliable, it's the volume of corroborating sources that gives credence. Salla explores many recent major world events in the context of the ET presence, and some of it, such as the Iraq-Stargate connection, is completely new to me, and he draws it all together into one concise volume, with loads of references for the curious.

Salla admits that his book is far from complete or perfect, but it's a foundation stone and it's a great starting point for bigger things to come. I thought some of the chapters needed some editing for typographical errors or some updating, and the language was a little "dry", but the book is otherwise brilliant.

Right from the start, Salla makes sure the reader knows what the deal is: the universe is filled with numerous extraterrestrial life forms, many of who have visited and are still visiting Earth, more or less every single politician and anyone in power (at least in the U.S.) is aware of this, and all major political decisions taken since the end of World War II have been a direct or indirect result of the extraterrestrial presence on Earth.

This is a strange book. Salla claims to have both a PhD and a Master's Degree and to have held great positions at American universities, still this book is an amazing example in how to write something that is the complete opposite to anything remotely close to scholarly, objective, critical, and interesting. Not only that, Salla is never critical to any sources whatsoever, and doesn't hesitate to use bizarre Internet postings as reliable evidence.

And there is no stopping Salla in his exploration of the "truth". If indeed everything he describes and claims to be the truth really is the truth, then the history of the entire 20th century, indeed the history of mankind, must be rewritten. "Normal" conspiracy theories such as The Philadelphia Experiment and MJ-12 are, obviously, taken for granted, but also ancient astronauts and mysterious reptilian humanoids living under the surface of the Earth.

Everything we think we know is a hoax, a lie, a cover constructed by different "secret governments" around the world in an attempt to keep the greater mass ignorant about the extraterrestrial existence. Even the most bizarre of bizarre ideas are very possible to Salla. For instance: in the final days of World War II, the German elite, helped by extraterrestrials, fled to the Antarctic and lived in underground bases; the Cold War was a scam that really was all about which super power could gain the most knowledge from the extraterrestrials, the rearmament programme during the Reagan era was initiated in order to build up a defence system against evil extraterrestrials; all sorts of non-Earthlings have infiltrated mankind's many institutions; and the on-going war in Iraq is really about finding ancient extraterrestrial technology buried in the sand since the days of the Sumerians.

And much, much more. Salla uses such questionable sources as Philip Corso, William Cooper, and David Icke, and the before mentioned Internet postings. True, he sometimes admits the sources might be doubtful, but at the same time insists that a channelled message from an extraterrestrial or an alleged alien abduction constitutes perfect evidence.

Still, even the worst of books can be funny to read sometimes. In this book that is truly the case, and from time to time is really quite entertaining to read the, to say the least, bizarre "explanations" to everything that has happened in the modern era. The skeptic will be even more skeptic, and the Believer will believe ever more passionately when the book is done. And when Salla at the end says that the extraterrestrials haven't shown themselves publicly yet since mankind is not "ready", then it all feels like any other New Age book where one is told that one has to increase ones "spirituality" in order to attract those mysterious beings the politicians are all too aware about.
