Review of "War of the Gods" by Erich von Daniken - Jason Colavito's Blog

Jason Colavito analyzes yet another book by Swiss author Erich von Daniken, released in German two years ago. Jason details a series of logical errors, translation bobbles, historical fallacies, and what he terms outright lies in the work. Nigel Watson's Not Coming In From The Cold is only somewhat less antipathetic to Roswell: The Ultimate Cold Case: Eyewitness Testimony and Evidence of Contact and the Cover-up. Watson argues that Thomas J. Carey and Donald R. Schmitt interpret eyewitness testimony and accepted facts of the case to support their long-running beliefs about what happened during and after the 1947 event. Well, sure. Of two new offerings edited by Timothy Green Beckley and Sean Casteel, Watson's Area 51 and Counting says "As UFO folklore these books make great bedtime reading," and also advises "a good pinch (shovel) of salt." But Diana Walsh Pasulka's Somewhere in the Skies: A Young Voice of Truth lauds Ryan Sprague's updated and expanded second edition of Somewhere in the Skies: A Human Approach to the UFO Phenomenon>. Pasulka praises the revamped effort for a Jacques Valleean focus "on the local, the personal," and non-media-hyped UFO cases, shunning "contemporary culture's embracing of the reality of UFO events."
