A former intelligence professional sheds new light on the obscure intersection of the military and the paranormal-the Military-Occult Complex-and reveals the incredible story of psychic abilities turned into a weapon of war by the world's soldiers and spies.In the annals of military and espionage history there have been many strange tales to be told, but none can match the saga of psychic espionage-the history of the Military-Occult Complex. With the flavor of fiction, but the foundation of fact, The Psychic Battlefield is the complete history of the use of man's extrasensory powers in search of the information needed to win wars-hot and cold. The Psychic Battlefield spans the five thousand-year history of ESPionage, from the attempted overthrow of the Pharaoh Rameses by magic to the CIA use of military-trained psychics during the Cold War. It is a story as true as it is incredible.This book reveals the story of the sacred Templar skull; the Angelic communications of John Dee, intelligence agent of Queen Elizabeth I; the psychic stranglehold of Rasputin on the Romanovs; and the occult endeavors of the Nazis and the Soviets. The Psychic Battlefield contains the names and rites of the old demons of war, contacted by military strategists in search of supernatural support. It explains and discusses different methods of divination used by armies throughout history, and reveals the various ways of making a soldier into a superman.The cast of characters includes such noteworthy names as sorcerer-poet Aleister Crowley, author Ian Fleming, spoon-bending General Stubblebine, and Psychic Warrior David Morehouse. In addition, the book features an exclusive interview with top psychic spy Joseph McMoneagle.Most remarkable of all is Mandelbaum's fascinating expos? of the paranormal research and remote viewing experiments conducted by the CIA, as well as the real effectiveness of the government's Stargate program.Attorney, psychic, former intelligence professional and dark-side investigative reporter W. Adam Mandelbaum clearly demonstrates that the final frontier of future wars and spies is the mind. Stay tuned.
Coincidentally, I share some background with this author and have done some of the same things and been to some of the same places. What people don't realize is that the government purposely uses disinformation to make classified information look ridiculous and not credible. Please keep that in mind when reading this book. It may sound not credible, but that's the way you're supposed to view this. Go beyond that and look at it with fresh eyes. Mandelbaum presents a thoroughly researched book about the historical use of anomalous cognition/psychic phenomenon. The best part must certainly be his interview with one of the top remote viewers: Joseph McMonagle. He makes the case well that the US as well as other governments have used this method for intelligence collection over decades for the simple reason that it has been shown to work.

I'm a researcher of various paranormal and conspiracy related subjects. Hats off to Madelbaum for an incredible weaving together of these seemingly diverse topics and for making their long interconnected history make perfect sense. He truly "gets it" and I recomend you get it... his book that is.
A Fascinating Read

A long time afficionado of the history of the occult and remote viewing, I found Mr. Mandelbaum's perspective on these topics to be refreshing and unique. Mr. Mandelbaum's highlights the use of the occult in warfare throughout history, enlightening the reader to better understand the way in which the history of the occult relates back to us today.Yes, this topic has been covered before by other writers, but it is Mr. Mandelbaum who draws a connection between the military and the occult in a way that has been ignored in the past. For fans of either topics, The Psychic Battlefield is both entertaining and informative.
The Best I've Read

From all the remote viewing books I have read, clearly the most informative and entertaining is Psychic Battlefield. The density of information and the occasional wit of the author make this a must read for paranormal fans.
Very enjoyable history of psychic warfare.

If you are looking for a very enjoyable and eminently easy book to read about the history of PSI and its use in warfare, this is an excellent book. There is a lot of material here. Some of it has been around for a long time, but not so much of it has been collected and stashed in one place, which makes this a great book for the home library. Of particular interest is both the intense interest in, and use of psychics throughout history, by governments as well as individuals. It would seem through evidence, that while "psychic functioning" has sometimes been heavily relied upon and sometimes ridiculed, it has always been with us, and for a very long time. A nice compendium of information.
