Summary

Richard Dolan's UFOs and the National Security State (Volume 1) has become a classic work of UFO history, a must for all students of this often confusing subject - or simply for those who want a deeper understanding of a key part of 20th-century history. This is the first volume of a two-part detailed chronological narrative of the national security dimensions of the UFO phenomenon from 1941 to the present. Working from hundreds of declassified records and other primary and secondary sources, Dolan centers his investigation on the American military and intelligence communities, demonstrating that they take UFOs seriously indeed.

Included in this volume are the activities of more than 50 military bases relating to UFOs, innumerable violations of sensitive airspace by unknown craft, and analyses of the Roswell controversy, the CIA-sponsored Robertson Panel, and the Condon Committee Report. Dolan highlights the development of civilian anti-secrecy movements, which flourished in the 1950s and 1960s until the adoption of an official government policy and subsequent "closing of the door" during the Nixon administration.

Truly academic, no bias, just facts.

A truly academic investigation of UFO chronology, investigations, cover ups and more. if one is on the fence about UFO's, this will raise some interesting questions.

exceptional...a must for anyone interested in this

A seemingly detailed and comprehensicebanalysis of the history of UFOs and the probable cover up. A must for anyone interested in the topic. fairly long but easy to listen to. Amazingly a reference to a filmed UFO in a Buckinghamshire (England) village near where I lived. looking forward to volume 2. always like Richard Dolan's sensible balanced approach too.

UFOs and National Security State

An extremely interesting, informative, and well narrated audio book.

A huge amount of hitherto unknown ( at least to me) and verifiable information.

Some truly disturbing insight into some of the ‘darker’ activities of the ‘Intelligence Community’ ( in particular, the CIA), and misuse of Presidential power and position.

A must read, for anyone with an open mind on the subject.

Fascinating look at the early days of UFOs

A fantastic in depth look at the UFO Phenomenon from pre-WW2 to 1974. Interesting and very well written this should appeal to both experienced UFO readers and newbies.

Hugely Informative

This is without doubt the definitive book on UFO’s and the Government Cover-up spanning from the 1940’s to the early 70’s. I have heard many of these accounts spoken of before but not in such great detail.

I’m disappointed that vol.2 isn’t available on audio yet, but will find and read it on the strength of this Audio Book!
