Product Description
Farrell maintains that careful considerations of Einstein’s celebrated and now discarded Unified Field Theory, and the breathtaking conclusions of wartime American and German scientists and engineers that, while an incomplete theory, it nevertheless was engineerable.

Interesting, informative, but still somewhat speculative ( heavens_to_murgatroyd )
The author begins an evaluation of Einstein's Unified Field Theory with an eye to how even an impartial, rejected theory can be field-engineered in part. He has a valid concept. As an engineer myself, I see all kinds of field solutions that are based on old theories of one kind or another, usually superceded by newer theories, that work just fine.
What pushes this book a bit too far is the assertion that the Philadelphia Experiment, a supposed attempt by the US Navy to make a WWII destroyer escort ship invisible to radar, actually occurred. What is well-documented about the supposed author of this event, Carlos Miguel Allende (real name "Carl Allen") is that he has a long history of fabricating wild tales.
That said, I've often wondered if he saw another attempt, or heard of something along those lines that might be closer to the tale than we might like to believe. However, given his history, I have to question nearly everything that Carl Allen ever said, and it would be good advice to investigators and other authors to do likewise. Keep and open mind, but not so open that flies get in.
Where the author is on firmer ground is where he discusses "Die Glocke", or "The Bell", the Nazi attempt to create some kind of energy device. There is historic evidence that "something" called "The Bell" actually existed. Where it is now, what it did or was capable of doing, and who has it are still undetermined. This part of the author's spiel ("Die Glockenspiel"?) is worth the price of the book.
The author is probably correct in his assertions that Einstein's "Jewish Science" would be muted by the influence of earlier German theoreticists, and therefore would be more acceptable to the race-crazy Nazis. In all, this line of speculation - for speculation it still is - seems more solid and well-developed. His reflections on the infamous "Paperclip" operation and its impacts on post-war US science have merit, but his musing that there may have been an underground Nazi "guiding" of post-war science is to me a bit too far-fetched.
Overall, I found the book to be a good read and not excessively credulous as some of these texts frequently are. It did get me thinking along the lines of how previous generations developed working physical theories that were engineered, only to have more modern theories poke holes in them. The fact that the theory is wrong doesn't always impact its usefulness. As someone once said, "A workable, comprehensible inaccuracy is more valuable than an incomprehensible, insoluble truth."
How true.
Heavens to...
Murgatroyd!

Interesting possibilities
Not having read anything by the author previously, I was pleasantly surprised at how well he made extremely complex theories, understandable to this layman.
While I don't always subscribe to "conspiracy" theories, the information presented here is enough to make one think differently about what we believe we... "know" to be true.
It was a good read, although the editing could have been a bit better.

 Best stick to the earlier works. ( holof3rn3s )
A roundup of (and expansion on) his previous theories from "Reich Of The Black Sun" and "The SS Brotherhood of the Bell" books, this book rehashes some of that material and further adds ~some~ info around the "Philadelphia Experiment" to the mix in an attempt to unify these WW2 "experiments" into a kind of Unified Field Conspiracy.
As with his previous books, it's about what you'd expect... some interesting documents, a heavy dose of "what if" presented as probable fact, and a generally fairly entertaining read.
Unfortunately, spell-check is still conspicuously missing from the arsenal of secret publishing weapons... but what do you want from this genre anyway? The info. And does it deliver new, compelling, interesting info? I'd say... not enough, really.
Much like Botherhood of the Bell, there's a lot of words wrapped around a pretty thin (if intriguing) story.
Still, if you really liked those two books, you'll probably like this one. It's a bit pricey for what you get, so if you want to pick one from this author on this subject, stick with the creepier and vastly more entertaining "Reich of the Black Sun".

 Einstein couldn't tie his own shoes ( thefountain4 )
Check it out! These ideas are rad, but the thinking behind presenting them is disorganized. There is an attempt to recapitulate at the end of each section, but the content is fractured. There are so many typos and syntactical mistakes, I was wishing the author could afford an editor. But the read, however difficult, was fun.

 more great work from Farrell ( jon_norris )
This is the latest book from Joseph P. Farrell, one of the best authors ever to grace the alternative science/history genre. I discovered Farrell by accident when I encountered a copy of part of his Reich of the Black Sun online. I was so impressed by his knowledge, insight, and ability to put strange ideas in perspective, I immediately began buying everything he had written. (Amazon loves me. Trees, on the other hand.......) This combination of research skill, insight, and ability to synthesize knowledge is extremely rare, and reminds me of such greats as G. Harry Stine, John Campbell, Richard Milton, or Robert Anton Wilson. If you want to understand some of the more hidden agendas in our society today, start with Farrell. He will give you a firm grounding in this knowledge and how to approach it, and will save you a great deal of time wasted on blind alleys, kooks, and disinformation.
This book relates his research into the connections between the Nazi "Bell" experiments, Einstein's "discarded" 1928 Unified Field Theory, and the Philadelphia Experiment.
With his usual depth and perceptive investigation, Farrell takes us through the fog of disinformation, misinformation, and just plain silliness surrounding these issues, and weaves a convincing set of arguments based on verifiable documentation and scientific knowledge. He deftly ties together the Nazi "Bell" research from his previous books with the 1928 version of the Unified Filed Theory that Einstein subsequently withdrew for reasons of "incompleteness." Also blended into the mix is the first solid account I have read of the Philadelphia Experiment, which is deeply hidden in myth, disinformation, and coverup.
(For those not up to speed, the Philadelphia Experiment is shorthand for a series of "stealth" experiments the U.S. Navy did with a ship called the Eldridge during World War II, designed to make it invisible to radar, but having much more profound effects, such as optical invisibility and dimensional instability.)
Farrell does his usual great job of presenting the research in a very orderly manner, building his case bit by bit from very solid sources. He documents, cites, and references his sources in a manner that puts most researchers to shame. From the super secret halls of Nazi physics to the doctored records of the U. S. government, Farrell leads us through the maze of noise and helps the true "signal" of the story stand out far more clearly.
The details of this work are far too many to list here, but include declassified goverenment documents, forgotten and doctored ships' logs, obscure and forgotten scientific papers, firsthand witness reports, patents, and other such solid evidence. All of it filtered and synthesized with a keen sense of true scientific process and balance into a coherent picture of hidden history.
The only fault I can find in Farrell's work is a common one in publishing these days - typos of the kind caused by too much dependence on computer spell-checkers, i.e. sound alike words such as "cite," "site," and "sight" being used incorrectly. I will also say that the number of such errors I find has continually decreased over the course of his books, which says to me that the proofreading is getting better. (Something we can all improve upon.) While sometimes causing momentary confusion, these are minor inconveniences and have not impeded my understanding of the text at all.
As always, one walks away from Farrell's books with one's mind reeling from the sheer amount of information, as well as the staggering consequences of his conclusions. There is so much more going on in this world than we "common folk" are being told, and Farrell gives us some much needed light on the tip of that strange, scary, and wondrous iceberg. Things are NOT the way we have been told.
Farrell is the current "gold standard" in alternative research, in my humble opinion.
His previous books:
The Giza Death Star
The Giza Death Star Deployed
The Giza Death Star Destroyed
(All three covering the Great pyramid as an ancient weapon of mass destruction.)
Reich of the Black Sun
The SS Brotherhood of The Bell
(Both covering secret Nazi research into extremely advanced physics.)
The Cosmic War
(About the use of the pyramid weapon and the exploded planet hypothesis.)
