1.0 out of 5 stars This book totally sucked., February 8, 1999

This review is from: Classified--Vanished! (Classified) (Paperback)

Having wanted to learn about the fascinating subject of the Philadephia Experiment I came to Amazon.com to look for credible books on the subject. Unfortunately, I fell for the suggestion to read this book. The only good news is that it cost less than $5 and wasted only a day of my time reading it. The book is not credible. It's a fairy tale, literally as well as the way the story is told. Save your money and buy something else.
