About this listen

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.

A long haul, but worth every minute. Anyone who has looked into ufology will almost certainly be at least superficially familiar with the topic of the US coverup and the awkward PR front known as project bluebook. None, however, gives as thorough and detailed a history as Dolan does here. Whether or not the reader subscribes to the ET hypothesis, the interdimentional hypothesis, or other explanation, there is certainly much to learn and appreciate here. Highly recommend.

Thorough

What’s so amazing about this book is its degree of detail in historical and political context. A must read to help differentiate reality from decades of orchestrated lies, however understandable their intent.

An astonishingly well researched summary

RMD has written an incredible account of the history of UFOs and all associated matters. The best book on the subject I have ever read. A riveting read. Can’t wait for Part 2.

Feel this to be a very comprehensive look into the full area involving govt and Et cover ups, leaked info. Arthur of the book still holds good values towards his research. Maybe for the more well read researches in the field. Yet highly recommend.

Very well read with in depth views.
