HIghly recommend...a humorous meditation on who's running the government when we're not looking (or we trust those in charge too much). What IF our secret agents are taking their cues from conspiracy theorists, spy novels, and new age gurus? What if the next war won't be fought with planes and tanks...
"From the acclaimed author of "Them" comes a truly disturbing, often hilarious look at the U.S. military's long flirtation with the paranormal--and the psy-op soldiers who are still fighting the battle."I don't think I've ever read a book that has made me laugh, almost cry, then feel horrified, sick...
In 1979 a secret unit is set up in the US Army to research the possibility of using psychic abilities.

My third and last book for this month's shelf. Yet another book that I probably never would have looked at if it wasn't for this group. Who would have thought I would actually get three science books in this month. Although this book purports to be true and based in fact, one has to wonder how tr...
