“Richard M. Dolan is a
gifted historian whose study of U.S. Cold War strategy led him to the broader
context of increased security measures and secrecy since World War II. One
aspect of such government policies that has continued to hold the public's
imagination for over half a century is the question of unidentified flying
objects. UFOs and the National
Security State
is the first volume of a two-part detailed chronological narrative of the
national security dimensions of the UFO phenomenon from 1941 to the present.
Working from hundreds of declassified records and other primary and secondary
sources, Dolan centers his investigation on the American military and intelligence
communities, demonstrating that they take UFOs seriously indeed. Included in
this volume are the activities of more than fifty military bases relating to
UFOs, innumerable violations of sensitive airspace by unknown craft and
analyses of the Roswell
controversy, the CIA-sponsored Robertson Panel, and the Condon Committee
Report. Dolan highlights the development of civilian anti-secrecy movements,
which flourished in the 1950s and 1960s until the adoption of an official
government policy and subsequent "closing of the door" during the
Nixon administration..”
