Book by Nick Cook, Century 2001 in the United Kingdom and Broadway Books 2002 in the United States, reporting roughly a decade of investigation by the then aviation editor of Jane’s Defence Weekly. Its starting point is documentary rather than anecdotal: in 1956 named American aerospace executives described gravity control in print as a near-term engineering programme, and by 1960 the subject had disappeared from the trade press entirely, a reversal Cook takes as the anomaly to be explained. He argues that such a silence is at least consistent with classification rather than failure, resting the case on two precedents, the voluntary withdrawal of fission from the open literature from 1940, and the concealment of stealth, and follows the trail back to the SS weapons empire under Hans Kammler and forward to Project Greenglow and Breakthrough Propulsion Physics.
The book’s two most load-bearing interpretive sources are pseudonymous, and its most widely repeated passage, Die Glocke, rests on documents Cook never saw. In the epilogue he states that his data support conclusions about antigravity research but are inconclusive on UFOs, and that no hard evidence supports Kammler reaching the United States. A prologue, twenty-six untitled numbered chapters and an epilogue.
