Book Reviews of The Day After Roswell
Book Review: Not too bad of a read,, a little tedious in the way it's presented
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had this book for a couple months now, and just recently decided to finish it after reading the first two chapters. I have to say, it's a little boring in the way the information is presented. Like in all my other reviews, if it holds my attention up until page 100, i'll finish it. This book does just that. The first 6 chapters are quite amusing in describing Phillip Corso's life and establishing his credibility with the military. Up until this point it's more of just a story that flows quite well. But when I hit chapter 7 (page 99 to be precise) I couldn't pull myself away from it. I probably read 100 pages in a few hours, where the previous 100 pages took a few days. Even if it's not true, it's still fascinating in the ways the author, in his alien descriptions, can absolutely paint a picture in your mind of what's going on. And the fact that it could possibly be true is just mind blowing. This excitement continues for a few chapters until around chapter 13 - 14, and then it just becomes downright monotonous. I don't know if it's the lack of enthusiasm or the subject matter, but yet again i had to force myself to finish this book.. So, some very valuable information from a very credible source. But on the other side, it's written by a lifetime military general,, not a five star author. So, hang in there.
Subjects in this book: Roswell (of course), extensive information and details on the Aliens, Technology, and Ideas gained from Roswell, Cold War Conspiracy stuff, the U2 and corona projects, Project Moon Base, the discovery and developement of the Integrated Circuit, the Laser, Fiber Optics, and the Star Wars program.
Summary of The Day After Roswell
The former head of the Foreign Technology Desk at the U.S. Army's Research & Development department discloses the government's role in the incident, explaining what actually happened and its implications."If you've ever wondered what crashed into the desert near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, this book will give you some startling answers. While the first version was published in hardcover in 1997, Corso provides new evidence for the presence of alien intruders in this pocket paperback edition. Whether or not you believe his contention, the sheer weight of governmental sources and documentation presented by the former Army intelligence officer is not easily dismissed. Once you understand the historical context (in the midst of the Cold War soon after World War II, with Orson Welles having recently inspired panic in citizens with his fictional War of the Worlds radio broadcast), the military deciding to cover up a real-life alien ship becomes more credible. Corso also gives a convincing explanation of why reports were so multi-various and conflicting. Even if you believe the book is utter fiction, it's still a compelling read. --Randall Cohan
