The Day After Roswell by retired Colonel Philip J. Corso and William J. Birnes

Brand new with a tiny bit of wear on bottom spine edge. Includes black and white pictures and lots of appendices with schematics and unclassified documents. First Gallery Books trade paperback edition. A landmark exposé firmly grounded in fact, The Day After Roswell ends the decades-old controversy surrounding the mysterious crash of an unidentified aircraft at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. Backed by declassified documents through the Freedom of Information Act, Col. Philip J. Corso (Ret.), a member of President Eisenhower's National Security Council and former head of the Foreign Technology Desk at the U.S. Army's Research and Development department, came forward to reveal his personal stewardship of alien artifacts from the Roswell crash. He tells us how he spearheaded the Army's reverse-engineering project that led to today's integrated circuit chips, fiber optics, lasers, and super-tenacity fibers, and seeded" the Roswell alien technology to giants of American industry. Laying bare the U.S. government's shocking role in the Roswell incident - what was found, the cover-up, and how they used alien artifacts to change the course of twentieth-century history - The Day After Roswell is an extraordinary memoir that not only forces us to reconsider the past but also our role in the universe.
