Richard Dolan's UFOs and the National Security State (Volume 1) has become a classic work of UFO history, a must for all students of this often confusing subject - or simply for those who want a deeper understanding of a key part of 20th-century history. This 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 50 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.

Unfortunately, the narrator was unfamiliar with the subject matter, unfamiliar with the names and acronyms, unfamiliar with common English idioms and conventions of pronunciation, and even unfamiliar with hundreds of ordinary English vocabulary words. The rate of wrong pronunciation and other narration errors, such as errors in emphasis, exceeded one per page, making it somewhat distracting. Don’t give up! The content of the book is worth ignoring this shortcoming.
this is absolutely the definitive book on the subject

Side note: the narrator needs to research the subject’s names a little better. Spiro Agnew is pronounced SPEE-ROW Agnew, not SPY-ROW. Next time he narrates a book he needs a little more preparation and a little less literary emotion.

As much as I had become acquainted to the whole UFO cover up, this book made me realise the extent of it and the early history of it.
It has also helped me understand the key role that Donald Kehoe played in keeping the topic alive with the public. If it wasn't for his work and the work of a few others who were willing to fight for the truth, regardless of the cost, we would know nothing about the whole phenomenon.
Sticking to facts

I didn't have a problem with the narrator like some have mentioned. Yes, he pronounces some words oddly but it's not a deal breaker. I had to change the speaking speed to 0.9 as he does speak a bit fast but that's not a problem either. It would've been a problem only if I couldn't adjust the speed.
Quite good
