UFO Crash at Roswell: The Genesis of a Modern Myth - Benson Saler; Charles Ziegler And Charles Moore

Clean, tight, unmarked; small dent near bottom edge of front cover; otherwise very minimal wear; This book offers a convincing history of the 'crash' near Roswell, New Mexico, and of the multiple stories about it together with a rich cultural and psychological analysis of these stories. This book persuasively explains the wreckage that is key to Roswell; the later tales of alien intrusion; and the varying assumptions, hopes, and fears that likely motivate these tales. The authors show how the Roswell story, like a religious myth, asserts in an 'unfalsifiable' narrative the existence of superior beings.
