Summary: LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEWS!!!!
Review: I've been reading some of the above reviews and I'm suprised at many of the elementary questions and suspicions you have of Colonel Corso. IF YOU PEOPLE WOULD WAKE UP AND LISTEN TO ART BELL'S (www.artbell.com) INTERVIEWS WITH CORSO THAT OCCURED THIS JULY YOUR QUESTIONS WOULD BE ANSWERED! The interviews were excellent! And you can listen to them in their entirety over the internet. I'm suprised that more people aren't aware of these incredible interviews. IF YOU READ THE BOOK, LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEWS AND STOP ASKING THESE SIMPLE QUESTIONS THAT WERE ANSWERED IN THE 3 HOUR AND 5 HOUR INTERVIEWS. In fact, in the second interview an investigator (I forget his name) confirms on air that Corso did in fact take part in all of the military operations that he claims in his book. This investigator spent a month in Washinton D.C. investigating Corso and found him to be telling the entire truth. You won't be dissapointed with these interviews, trust me. They will answer so many questions that went unanswered in the book. Thanks

Summary: Obviously a MUST-READ book
Review: You will learn alot in this book - alot about our military past. It is very good. But if you read it, you also MUST listen to both of Corso's interviews on the Art Bell radio show. Check out www.artbell.com and you can listen over the internet to the entire interviews. The interviews are excellent and if you have read the book it is very important that you listen to the interviews to get a better idea of why this man wrote the book and what kind of man he is. THIS MAN IS TELLING THE TRUTH

Summary: The Day After Roswell
Review: I truely believe Col. Corsos story. I am completely open minded about the unknown. Why shouldn't we believe him. Our government hides things from the general public every day. If people would just think about it for awhile they would relize that we had no major inventions or discoveries since this stuff was introduced. We have improved on some things but nothing really new. I am not a good critic and I do not claim to be. All I know is that it is damn selfish of the human race to think that we are the only ones in this whole area that we call space. If God could put us here..(if he did)..then why couldn't he have put other intelligent species millions and millions of light years away? There are too many mysteries of the unknown. We should stay open minded until otherwise proven different

Summary: Too lame even for me.
Review: I have an extremely open mind, but this book is ridiculous! If it weren't for all the self-agrandizing stories Corso tells, it might ring truer; but as it stands, it seems phony

Summary: Interesting, but rambling and some technical errors
Review: Mr. Corso presented a rambling account of some otherwise fascinating events. Technical details of the alien technology were rather vague and not scientifically explained, but I excused Mr. Corso for these lapses since he was not a scientist.
I don't have a copy of his book (I returned it to the public library after reading it) in front of me, but I do recall some claims he made about his military service. In particular, he claimed to have commanded an anti-aircraft guided missile unit for some time prior to retiring in 1963. He described the HAWK missile as having infrared homing guidance. This was not true, the HAWK had semi-active radar guidance, not infrared. Also, he at one point mentioned something about the Russian "Backfire" bomber as being a potential enemy threat. The "Backfire" was not introduced into operational service until the mid-1970s, and would not have concerned a 1963 retiree. These discrepancies in an area where Mr. Corso should be an expert troubled me.

Review: Steer clear of this book at all costs. The reviews here were surely written by the authors' relatives, not sane people

Summary: Masterpiece
Review: I read this in one sitting refusing to eat or sleep till I was finished. I kept thinking that this just can't be true. In the ensuing month, I have discussed this with many scientists woking in misslie defense, people who were at Wright-Patt in the 60s and people who worked on fiber optics in the 60s. I have found that a lot of what Corso claims is substantiaied in some areas. I still refuse to believe the assertions in the SDI cahpter. Having said this, I rate this book a solid 10 because it has caused me to reexamine every aspect of science and technology that bears on this question. I hope that Corso will publish the Treadeau memoirs and provide the next level of detail in a follow up work

Summary: Corso's claims may still not satisfy debunkers
Review: There are two credible eye witnesses to Roswell living today: Dr Jesse Marcel Jr, and now Col. Philip Corso. Debunkers say Dr Marcel was too young at age 10 to know what he handled when his father brought home wreckage from the Roswell crash site in July, 1947. And now the debunkers say Corso is too old at age 81 to remember correctly anything that went on while he was in the Pentagon in the 1960's.
The debunkers are really going to have to work hard to destroy Corso's tale. He was in the thick of the government cover up while working under General Arthur Trudeau in the Army's Research and Development dept of the Pentagon in the early 1960's. His credentials as a 21 year career army intelligence officer are impeccable. By leaking Roswell technology found in the wreckage to industry under the guise that the material was obtained from various foreign government technology, the perfect government cover up was in place. From 1948 onward, industry made great leaps of progress in areas such as lasers, night vision devices, fiber optics, and integrated circuits.
Corso's hard to swallow claim that Reagan and Gorbachev mutually agreed that SDI should be built to protect our planet from attack by the EBE's (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities), becomes easier to digest if one accepts the premise that the EBE's are indeed here and up to no good when it comes to helping we humans. All abduction stories with associated genetic experimentation, and ongoing cattle mutilations also involving the removal of sexual organs, point to those conclusions.
By naming specific projects and names of people involved in the cover up, Corso is the first person truly within the system to write a first hand (five fingered, not six) account of the Roswell cover up. I applaud his courage, and hope he follows this book with another one containing specific names, files, and events. An index is sorely lacking, and more exhibits would have added to the book's credibility.
Corso does engage in too much bravado by suggesting his and Trudeau's efforts were solely responsible for the end of the Cold War. Corso even claims he was the one to force the public disclosure of Soviet missiles on ships bound for Cuba by leaking the classified information to Senator Keating of NY. Those parts of the book detract from the main message of the Roswell cover up, and should have been excluded.
I'll forgive him the above because the real value here is that the story of our government's cover up of Roswell and its denials of the existence of UFO's is finally seeing the light of day.

Summary: An absolute wealth of hitherto concealed information
Review: If taken at face value (given Colonel Corso's impeccable military record, why would anyone not take notice ?), this would have to be one of the most important books ever written. Corso provides us with a number of product development trails to follow, identifying sources at the commencement of each cycle. Let's see the sceptics and deliberate purveyors of misinformation wriggle out of this one
