Explanation of Ratings
Credibility = Very High: In general, this catagory is a rating of the author's intellectual discipline
and the strength of his argument (which are very high), not the veracity of his claims (which could be false in spite of the strong argument).

This is the definitive history of
remote viewing, starting with experiments at
the Stanford Research Institute in the 1970s and profiling
the U.S. government's secret parapsychology programs
during the Cold War.
If you don't
know that this stuff is for real, well you just haven't been paying
attention.
Based on dozens of interviews,
Schnabel provides intimate
portraits of all the players in the field:
Puthoff, Swann, Harary, Buchanan, etc. He comes
up with many new details of various secret
psychic programs, many of which were remarkably successful.
And Schnable can
dish the dirt, too.
The book provides many hints of who the more credible
players are in today's crowded psi field field. For the
first time we have a clear picture of
how and why the government's program
developed, thrived for a while, then went away.
It's not because it didn't work, only that the
field was rife with dissention and the political
repurcussions were too spooky even for the government.
If you have any interest in
parapsychology, you won't be able to put this book down
until it is finished.
We have used this book as a reference when building
the psi section of this website, and this paperback version
is one of the best bargains around.

From the Book Cover
As fantastic as X-Files episodes, but these things really happened
- A part-time Christmas-tree salesman remote-viewed his
way into the heart of a super-secret National Security
Agency installation buried in the West Virginia mountains.
- The same psychic described previously unknown details
of a high-tech Soviet military research facility--details
that were later confirmed by spy satellite.
- A bizarre wave of paranormal visions haunted a group of
scientists doing psychic research at Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory.
- A woman in Ohio psychically found the location of a
crashed Soviet bomber in the jungles of Zaire, helping a
CIA team to recover the wreckage before the Soviets got
there--and earning praise from President Jimmy Carter.
- An Army remote viewer was the first in the U.S.
intelligence community to describe the Soviets' new Typhoon-
class submarine--while it was still indoors, under construction.
And those are just a few samples from this extraordinary
story. . . .

Promotional Material from the Publisher
Under code names like "Grill Flame", "Center Lane", "Sun Streak", and "Star Gate",
the U.S, government's "Remote Viewers" went on psychic-spying missions around
the world....read minds...even looked back in time and into the future.
And they enjoyed the support of the highest levels....
"I never liked to get into debates with the skeptics, because if you didn't belive that remote viewing was real, you hadn't done your homework"
Major General Edmund R. Thompson
U.S. Army Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence 1977-81
Deputy Director for Management and Operations, DIA, 1982-84
"You can't be involved in this for any length of time and not be convinced there's something here."
Norm J., a former senior CIA official who tasked remote viewers
"There were times whne they wanted to push buttons and drop bombs on the basis of our information."
Dr. Hal Puthoff, a former manager of the remote-viewing program
"She went into a trance. And while she was in the trance, she gave us some latitude and longitude figures. We focused our satellite cameras on that point, and the (lost) plane was there."
Former President Jimmy Carter, recalling a 1978 remote-viewing operation
After three years of research, with access to numerous sources fromt he intelligence community - including the remote viewers themselves - science writer Jim Schnabel reveals for the first time the secret details of the strangest chapter in the history of espionage.

Remote Viewing... More to the Story
Bravo Jim... Though "Remote Viewing: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies" is an "Incomplete History" Never the Less, your book is pretty much right on the money. Additional information on the Entire Remote Viewing Program illuded you. Your focus mostly on "The Military" side of the RV Program and does not tell the whole story. I hope you write a "Second Revised Edition" to include what was left out. It would strenthen what you already have.
