Henry presents a plausible cause for the reoccurence of wars and major conflicts during the history of mankind. Differing with Sitchin only on the reasons for the Annunaki initially visiting the earth, he covers lost civilizations, occult beliefs and the political agendas that even today are being carried out in the pursuit of these beliefs.

I read David Icke's "And the Truth Shall Set You Free" the same week and enjoyed Henry's book much more than Icke's.

- in fact, I bought it on the strength of reading a couple paragraphs at random in a bookstore. But this book, in spite of being heavily footnoted, giving the impression of scholarly depth, is not especially good. After a couple of chapters, wading through unfinished sentences, poor grammar and spelling, you begin to realize that this is little more than a college term paper based on breathless enthusiasm over the works of other scholars. Truthfully, anyone seeking information about ancient astronauts, religious politics, Knights Templar and Atlantis would be better served by reading the originals from which this poorly organized pastiche came. Until this person does primary research on his own, please read Zechariah Sitchin, Helena Blavatsky, David Hatcher Childress, Bruce Rux and Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln instead.

The premise is fascinating, however. I really DO want information on the religious and occult background on World War II, and I'm even prepared to accept that WWII is a modern continuation of political and religious divisions set up many thousands of years ago. But this book is entirely too wild-eyed and ill-organized for even my credulous nature. Don't buy it.

William Henry has put together a wealth of information connecting ancient religions with current belief systems. As a student of Ancient cultures, beliefs, and writings, I feel that this will be a great research treasure. William Henry also has a writing style that is easy to read and understand.

The secret occult history of W.W.II and it's impact on new age politics (subtitle of the book). There are chapters on the Nazi's, the Philadelphia experiment, the temple of Solomon as well as Atlantis and some mentions of Enlil and the Annunaki (from Sitchin). All in all I found this book to be quite interesting. The chapters are short and easy to read.

Excellently researched and very well written. William Henry has done his homework on this subject. I was fascinated with some of the facts that he uncovered. He is a very interesting author who has begun to get some radio airplay. He is fascinating to listen to. I highly recommend this book to any open-minded reader.

The amazing power in being able to conrol the masses.How quickly we forget and even more so when it is suppressed.The floodgates of the truth are about to be opened and increased knowledge is at hand.
