Summary: Finally an objective look at psychic ability
Review: The most objective and informational book available to date on the topic of remote viewing, written by someone who was there from the beginning. An open-minded and even-handed look at a controversial topic. I agree with a previous reviewer in saying that this book is essential to anyone who is seriously interested in researching psychic ability on a scientific level. Other books by Mr. McMoneagle are also available and worth reading if you have interest in the history of remote viewing.

Summary: A bunch of hype with no substance
Review: The positive reviews of this work are written by those who worship this guy, not by serious remote viewers. Being the first remote viewer does not make you the best, nor the final word on anything about remote viewing. This book is just another historical perspective by one of the former members of a defunct and disfunstional intelligence unit. It doesn't teach you how to remote view, it doesn't even begin to do this. What it does do, is force the reader to wallow through what was in remote viewing. I'd personally look for a book about what the future may hold, or better yet, how to do it. I would not recommend this book to anyone, unless you simply want to listen to another exmilitary dude blow his horn for you.

Summary: Not Even Remotely Worthwhile
Review: This book offered no secrets, no insights and was poorly written. McMoneagle purportedly writes from his experience with the US Army's RV program, but he documents nothing substantial. His presentation is disjointed and further confused by a gloss of Eastern martial arts philosophy -- he even went so far as to copywrite the term "RV do" -- enough said.
Rating: 
Summary: An interesting book, but not for everybody
Review: This book will be an interesting read for the more seasoned remote viewer. It does not describe any techniques but rather offers some useful tips on how to enhance your viewing skill.
If you are looking for a "how to" book then this is not the one.

Summary: A good and realistic view of RV.
Review: This is a good and realistic view of RV, with lots of hints on those of us who are practicing RVers. What I like about Joe's writing is that it seems to dispense with most of the ego that you can see in some other works. My understanding from people that knew him is that Joe was a "natural" Rv star who is one of the best ever. This is significant because his writing comes off even as a bit humble. I can really appreciate that. This book is an absolute must if you have interest in intelligence, parapsychology, RV, or are just curious about strange things our government is up to.

Summary: A good handbook, but a bit dry.
Review: This is a good handbook, and it is an excellent resource if you wanted to try Remote Viewing yourself. However, it is a bit dry at thimes. It is loaded with all manner of great subjects and specifics related to the "how to" of remote Viewing, but this is not a casual book. I would recommend this book only if you were interested in trying to Remote View on your own and wanted a guide to learn how to do it. It gives a great background and history behind the process, but this is certainly not a book for the non-believers or skeptics out there.

Summary: How to get a blck belt in remote viewing
Review: This is one of Joe's best works. His system of defining remote viewing skills via the martial arts belt system is very neat. Having worked with Martial arts masters of this skill, I find it especially apropriate. A nice compliment to his first book and again a clear demonstration of how knowledgable Joe is on the subject.

Summary: No secrets just a big con.
Review: Waste of time and money. Worst book I have ever read. No secrets just a big con.

Summary: The best and most honest info on remote viewing
Review: Well, unlike the first reviewer, I found the writing in this book to be refreshingly straightforward and good. I've done a lot of reading on the topic of remote viewing and have also seen some training material from other people in the field. McMoneagle's knowledge of the subject is unparalleled, and his ability to convey that knowledge is excellent. He's honest and emphatic about the need to treat this kind of endeavor realistically. He explains the importance of maintaining the integrity of the work by adhering to very strict protocols. He offers clear opinions on what works well and what doesn't-- so the book is useful to those whose ambition it is to develop this skill themselves. I've never met McMoneagle (unlike one reviewer-- he is not an old friend of mine) and I value his perspective on this subject since he is NOT out to offer an expensive training course and is clearly a good remote viewer. I'd recommend the book highly, and it's refreshing to find such a pragmatic source on the subject.
