Summary: I really wanted to like this book -
Review: - in fact, I bought it on the strength of reading a couple paragraphs at random in a bookstore. But this book, in spite of being heavily footnoted, giving the impression of scholarly depth, is not especially good. After a couple of chapters, wading through unfinished sentences, poor grammar and spelling, you begin to realize that this is little more than a college term paper based on breathless enthusiasm over the works of other scholars. Truthfully, anyone seeking information about ancient astronauts, religious politics, Knights Templar and Atlantis would be better served by reading the originals from which this poorly organized pastiche came. Until this person does primary research on his own, please read Zechariah Sitchin, Helena Blavatsky, David Hatcher Childress, Bruce Rux and Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln instead.The premise is fascinating, however. I really DO want information on the religious and occult background on World War II, and I'm even prepared to accept that WWII is a modern continuation of political and religious divisions set up many thousands of years ago. But this book is entirely too wild-eyed and ill-organized for even my credulous nature. Don't buy it.

Summary: Informative and Thought-Provoking
Review: Excellently researched and very well written. William Henry has done his homework on this subject. I was fascinated with some of the facts that he uncovered. He is a very interesting author who has begun to get some radio airplay. He is fascinating to listen to. I highly recommend this book to any open-minded reader.

As a student of Ancient cultures, beliefs, and writings, I feel that this will be a great research treasure. William Henry also has a writing style that is easy to read and understand.
