I saw the author of this book featured on an episode of Ancient Aliens and bought this book immediately. Of all areas of ufology, government involvement fascinates me the most.
The book focuses mainly on 20th-century UFO sightings and the presidents' responses to the UFO situation in general. There was a lot of emphasis on Nixon's and Reagan's terms as well as Project Blue Book. It appears to be very well-researched overall and is an interesting topic.
A side note: I was impressed to see that this book mentions Dorothy Kilgallen as well as the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death/connection to the JFK assassination case. I'd never heard anything about her thoughts on UFOs and the like, so it was interesting to make that connection as well. Not many people seem to remember her despite being one of the top journalists in America for decades.
