Stevens does a good job reviewing the weapons projects of WWII Germany. Some of these technologies have come to pass - not surprisingly since we took hundreds of their scientists after the war. Some of the projects, however, remain mysterious and unknown. It is interesting that after the war our level of "secret" projects went through the roof. No doubt we continued some of these projects and of course we were looking for ways to fight the Soviets. Occasionally Stevens conjectures a bit too much from little evidence. But our government is never very good at releasing info, even if it is decades old and probably irrelevant to today's defense projects. Perhaps they are ashamed that they picked and chose which Germans to protect and which to prosecute or send home. But it is kind of silly to continue to persecute old men, most who had nothing to do with "atrocities." Are you a bad German if you launched V-2 rockets at London any more than Allies who burned down cities?

A lot of disconnected information in one book. I had to look at each chapter as a new item. Got to be too much information to handle in successive sittings. A book which I will return to after allowing some of the info to process a while.

Even though I purchased this book for someone else, I ended up reading certain chapters, and was impressed by the fact that the author has included quite a few photocopied documents along with the text, based on the originals that he researched prior to writing this work.
Obviously, some of the chapters are quite technical, which should not bother the readers who are into weapons design and deployment in the field of battle, but for people (like me) looking for the more occult aspects, there are other books you can go to. I'm not saying better books because this particular work's aim is not to showcase the magic but rather the science behind the creation of all those sinister weapons.
For fans of the magic, there are tantalizing hints in chapters like "What is happening in Antarctica" or "Experiments in time"...and the black and white schematics, along with the black and white photographs, lend the book an air of dramatic inevitability that would have been spoiled by color plates.
For people who are interested in the technology of World War II, it is the perfect gift. I gave it four stars because I thought, after all, that a few more chapters on the magic could have been included, without ruining the book's overall perspective. Guess I can't have my cake and eat it, too.
Well researched, a great read. January 12, 2009

Although some of the chapters were a bit outlandish (but never dull!) the author provides excellent theories on Nazi technologies being utilized by the post-war powers to further their scientific programs.
Great book, highly recommended.
