2.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing but ultimately disappointing, April 4, 2007

By	John L. Velonis (Dobbs Ferry, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

According to the author's preface, "This is not a work of history. But neither is it a work merely of fiction." Unfortunately, it would have been much more entertaining had it been a work of fiction by any decent thriller writer.

The first part of the book argues that the Nazis had multiple functional atomic bombs in 1944-45, the capture of which was the main reason for the success of the Manhattan Project. This is an intriguing premise and plausible enough if you don't worry overmuch about the author's heavy reliance on secondary sources (including a manuscript published only on the Internet), and if you are willing to overlook some very tenuous chains of reasoning. For example, the author describes several conflicting accounts of the death of a highly placed SS officer allegedly in charge of Nazi secret weapons research: "No one, no where can advance anything like a consistent account of the date, location, time, or even method of Kammler's death... In all likelihood, therefore, Kammler did not die at all..."

Still, you may be able to maintain your suspension of disbelief until you get into part 2, which concerns Nazi experimentation with flying saucers, "quantum numerology", "vorticular physics", and other -- let us say -- unconventional areas of research. Of course, it is entirely possible that some Nazis did investigate these areas, but to treat them seriously only undermines the credibility, such as it is, of the arguments presented in the first part. Part 3 goes downhill even faster as it attempts to link the alleged UFO crashes in Roswell with secret Nazi research projects.

I give the author full marks for foreshadowing and hinting at vast dark secrets to be revealed. Unfortunately (perhaps inevitably), the actual revelations are rather anticlimactic, since they are bound to strike anyone but another conspiracy theorist as just plain silly. Still, I could see the seeds for half a dozen adventure novels in this book. Perhaps one day someone will write one.

5.0 out of 5 stars inner circles of SS weapons research, May 3, 2008

By	Jon Norris (Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

In this book, Farrell begins investigating the "missing" history surrounding the Nazis and World War II. In his usual precise and meticulous way, he peels back layers of disinformation and historical fog to uncover astounding revelations about what we have been told about that time in history.

To put it succinctly, we've been duped. We have not been told the truth about just how advanced Nazi research was, and how VERY close they came to conquering the world by force in the 1940s. (We were at most a couple of weeks from nuclear bombs raining down on the U.S.) History, as we have been told it, is riddled with lies.

The Nazis were further along with nuclear weapons than we have been led to believe, even to the point of having developed two, possibly three, generations of nuclear bombs, among other things. The Manhattan Project could not have had our bombs ready for Japan when it did were it not for captured (surrendered, actually) Nazi information and materials. Their progress in other areas, such as electronics, new submarines, fuel/air bombs, etc., was also far beyond what is generally known. Most of what Corso claimed came from "aliens" was more likely from Nazi research. The alien thing just helps feed the coverup.

Farrell also takes us into the inner circles of the SS, which at these levels refers to Schwarze Sonne, or "The Black Sun," a topic of deeply occult and scientific significance. The SS had many levels, and at the top level was like a sinister version of the Round Table of King Arthur. We learn about such mystery men as Hans Kammler, engineering genius and one of the most brutal and powerful men in the world at the end of the war. What, never heard of him? Not surprising. His name has been "sanitized" from Western history, as have those of many other prominent SS officials. His dossier is STILL classified in the U.S.

We are treated to discussions of physics research into areas far outside of the current paradigm, and the monstrous weapons which that research produced. We also see the smooth exit of the Nazis from the world stage at the war's end, and get glimpses of how they quietly wove their way into the fabric of current world society, taking positions of great power and control.

These are not, however, the rantings of "channelers," kooks, or other people who have forgotten to take their medication. These revelations are the result of hard investigative work by many people, especially helped by research into documentation from behind the Iron Curtain that escaped the "sanitizing" of Western political and business interests. Farrell documents and cites his case very, very well, and I guarantee you will be shocked (possibly also angered and scared). I was, and I have been investigating wild fringe things for nearly four decades (nor am I am all that easy to shock).

The information in this book has immense value, not only in a historical sense, but also to help one understand the manner in which Western society has been "changing" since World War II. The citations are also great for continued study.

Farrell unearths fascinating ideas and information, linking them to threads of science and history. One must read in depth to appreciate the amount of detail and knowledge presented in his books, as well as the depth of insight and perception of the author. If you like his other books, you will like this one, too.

I recommend all of Farrell's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Information Galore!, September 11, 2006

By	A. McDonald "A. McDonald" (TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found the book to be very readable and full of references to documentation supporting to the hypotheses. I imagine that at some point in time in the future, the author may need to do another book to "update" us on material as it is released from various governments. As others have mentioned, there are typos, from the printer,not proofing, before printing. However, I found that the typos did not cause any difficulties in reading it. Overall the author proposes several well researched hypotheses, and presents them well.
