This book starts out well, with lots of interesting facts and discussion on the origins of the Aryans, propaganda, archaeology etc. It loses its way around three quarters of the way through during the discussion of UFOs and alien abduction, but then comes back on point towards the conclusion. I did find this interesting. In no way was it sensational, the author tried for skeptical objectivity, and there is a significant amount of referencing. I would recommend this as a good overview, with the exception of the section on UFOs, which could have dropped a lot of non relevant material. ( )
