wow, I really enjoyed this book! Talk of the Roswell incident which started and ended the book. I won't spoil it. But all of the recently declassified work that went on there, the nuclear testing, secret planes such as the U2, Oxcart (which begat the SR71), stealth bombers), drones, etc. plus the politics, wow! I admit I am shocked that this book would ever exist, I'd have thought it would never be this work would stay forever classified! Highly recommended!
