But what other book starts out with a disclaimer stating that the original authors disappeared with archives and source material? Read about THE intelligence organization that has origins in WWII, was staffed with brilliant minds like J.D. Salinger and Julia Childs and hints at the existence of night vision technology before 1945 (by the Nazis). It's not a conspiracy theory compendium. This is the real deal. Read of Hitler's right-hand man and the hilarious story behind his capture. Realize that some of the most intelligent men and women that fought for our country in WWII were also among the bravest. J.D. Salinger hints at his real life Counter-Intel experience in his short story 'To Esme with Love'. Joseph Heller makes references to men in uniforms without name tags in 'Catch-22'. These people predated 'Men in Black'. They were the originals. They were the Men in Tan. What we don't know about the measures taken for our safety could fill a library and this would be among the top ten books. Buy it...if you can find it.
