Reich of the Black Sun: Nazi Secret Weapons & the Cold War Allied Legend

A most interesting inquiry into the world of secret technology, the birth of the atomb bomb, and UFO's, and their likely Nazi origin. The book is divided in three parts. At first, the atom bomb is the main subject, and the author convincingly argues that Nazis were the first to have this technology, to have an actual atomic bomb, and the first to have tested it. Evidence is shown for every one of the author's claim. Then the book focuses on Hans Kammler - a rather intriguing figure - and explains historical facts in a new light. The result of this is that history suddenly makes far more sense with the additional knowledge exposed in this volume (such as Patton's not going for Berlin and going south instead, for no apparent reason, or why the Hiroshima bomb was never tested before it was used, and many other instances). The research done for this book is excellent, footnotes abound, references too. It's a fascinating read, very serious. The author proposes intelligent arguments and is very clear about what is fact and what is supposition and what is speculation. All of which make for a serious book, despite its subject matter. The only flaw to this excellent work is the impressive amount of typos. Sometimes I found 6 types within the same page; it's usually a reversal of letters, or an omission of letters. This does disturb the reading as you constantly expect new amazing typos, and they never fail to come. "Operaton", "opration", and the likes are legion and they can easily get on your nerves. I hope this will be fixed in a later edition. I also hope that the author will start using square brackets - [...] - and not regular parentheses when he inserts his own words in quoted passages. Actually it's not the only flaw: there should be a bibliography, I would have liked that very much. Besides that flaw, this book is a fascinating read, never boring, and whose topic is of tremendous importance, if true, and this work certainly does a great job of exposing evidence that would convince more than one that research like this should be continued. Very recommended.

Farrell's way of looking at things make his books required reading for anyone interested in learning about the world we live in. His books have much speculation, but also are full of "documentation" that always surprises me.

Dr. Farrell (of OXFORD) is I believe honest in his research. That said, the shear volume of data here cannot all be dead on. It's not possible (but he genuinely tries). There's a reviewer, some pony-tailed idiot named "John Velonis" who clearly did NOT read the book and then wrote a review about it. Of all the data in this book, one could not possibly claim to have read and understood any of it, and then harp on one insane detail like Hans Kammler's death. I don't blame Farrell one bit. It's suspect, and I don't think Velonis quoted it correctly. It literally sounds to me like he opened it to a few pages and picked something ridiculous (he is probably a Grade-School teacher who wanted to use the wpord: "INTRIGUING" in a complete sentence). Decide for yourself. This book is FILLED with historically important and fascinating data that is for the most part I believe, accurate, and obviously genuine in it's research. Go for it, make up your own mind.

In this book, Farrell begins investigating the "missing" history surrounding the Nazis and World War II. In his usual precise and meticulous way, he peels back layers of disinformation and historical fog to uncover astounding revelations about what we have been told about that time in history. To put it succinctly, we've been duped. We have not been told the truth about just how advanced Nazi research was, and how VERY close they came to conquering the world by force in the 1940s. (We were at most a couple of weeks from nuclear bombs raining down on the U.S.) History, as we have been told it, is riddled with lies. The Nazis were further along with nuclear weapons than we have been led to believe, even to the point of having developed two, possibly three, generations of nuclear bombs, among other things. The Manhattan Project could not have had our bombs ready for Japan when it did were it not for captured (surrendered, actually) Nazi information and materials. Their progress in other areas, such as electronics, new submarines, fuel/air bombs, etc., was also far beyond what is generally known. Most of what Corso claimed came from "aliens" was more likely from Nazi research. The alien thing just helps feed the coverup. Farrell also takes us into the inner circles of the SS, which at these levels refers to Schwarze Sonne, or "The Black Sun," a topic of deeply occult and scientific significance. The SS had many levels, and at the top level was like a sinister version of the Round Table of King Arthur. We learn about such mystery men as Hans Kammler, engineering genius and one of the most brutal and powerful men in the world at the end of the war. What, never heard of him? Not surprising. His name has been "sanitized" from Western history, as have those of many other prominent SS officials. His dossier is STILL classified in the U.S. We are treated to discussions of physics research into areas far outside of the current paradigm, and the monstrous weapons which that research produced. We also see the smooth exit of the Nazis from the world stage at the war's end, and get glimpses of how they quietly wove their way into the fabric of current world society, taking positions of great power and control. These are not, however, the rantings of "channelers," kooks, or other people who have forgotten to take their medication. These revelations are the result of hard investigative work by many people, especially helped by research into documentation from behind the Iron Curtain that escaped the "sanitizing" of Western political and business interests. Farrell documents and cites his case very, very well, and I guarantee you will be shocked (possibly also angered and scared). I was, and I have been investigating wild fringe things for nearly four decades (nor am I am all that easy to shock). The information in this book has immense value, not only in a historical sense, but also to help one understand the manner in which Western society has been "changin

I found the book to be very readable and full of references to documentation supporting to the hypotheses. I imagine that at some point in time in the future, the author may need to do another book to "update" us on material as it is released from various governments. As others have mentioned, there are typos, from the printer,not proofing, before printing. However, I found that the typos did not cause any difficulties in reading it. Overall the author proposes several well researched hypotheses, and presents them well.
