This review is from: Reich of the Black Sun: Nazi Secret Weapons & the Cold War Allied Legend (Paperback)

Dr. Farrell (of OXFORD) is I believe honest in his research.

That said, the shear volume of data here cannot all be dead on. It's not possible (but he genuinely tries).

There's a reviewer, some pony-tailed idiot named "John Velonis" who clearly did NOT read the book and then wrote a review about it.

Of all the data in this book, one could not possibly claim to have read and understood any of it, and then harp on one insane detail like Hans Kammler's death. I don't blame Farrell one bit. It's suspect, and I don't think Velonis quoted it correctly. It literally sounds to me like he opened it to a few pages and picked something ridiculous (he is probably a Grade-School teacher who wanted to use the wpord: "INTRIGUING" in a complete sentence).

Decide for yourself. This book is FILLED with historically important and fascinating data that is for the most part I believe, accurate, and obviously genuine in it's research. Go for it, make up your own mind.

This review is from: Reich of the Black Sun: Nazi Secret Weapons & the Cold War Allied Legend (Paperback)

As a World War II buff since I was in grade school (I'm in my forties now), it's very hard to hit a WWII topic in a way I haven't seen before. Farrell has succeeded in spades with Reich of the Black Sun. Using recently declassified documents from multiple countries, he makes a nearly ironclad case that the Nazis did NOT lose the race to the atom bomb, they merely won it so late that it made more sense to use the bomb as a bargaining chip for the postwar freedom of several top Nazis, Martin Bormann chief among them.

I passed a copy of this book to a retired intelligence professional and he said it lined up with many facts that he had learned "behind the curtain." He also said that Farrell's scholarship and thoroughness would have made a welcome addition to any country's intelligence staff. I only withhold five stars because of the plethora of easily correctable typos that should have been fixed in a book that's been out for five years.

Reich of the Black Sun easily earns its place on the bookshelf of any WWII buff.

This review is from: Reich of the Black Sun: Nazi Secret Weapons & the Cold War Allied Legend (Paperback)

This book took me forever to get through, partially because I had to concentrate on reading books that needed to be returned to the library and partially due to Farrells dry writing style. A good portion of this book is Farrells claim that the Nazis had nukes. He shows a lot of interesting coincidences and circumstantial evidence but doesn't make a 100% convincing case either. There's also stuff on Nazi secret weapons programs, Nazi "UFOs", and even a little bit on the theories that are out there on secret Nazi bases under Antarctica and the North Pole. Overall this is interesting subject matter which is put together in a very dry way but if your into alternative viewpoints on history/WW2/Nazis then this may interest you.
