Dietrich's "book" is worse than I expected:

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2021
Fiction disguised and presented as non-fiction.
"This book is a deception within itself having little to do about the Roswell Incident and more to do with claiming the Japanese won World War Two.
Most of the known unfounded and subsequently refuted claims by Dietrich about the Japanese and WW2 are included. But no attempt whatever was made to provide any further substantiation in the form of evidence. For example, the claims about the Perry flag displayed on the USS Missouri at the surrender ceremony, the content(s) of the Treaty of San Francisco and Security Treaty, the tactical objective of Marcus Island, the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and the existence of Japanese submarines operating on the East Coast of the US are not backed with any convincing evidence. Rather, they are presented in the same argumentative and emphatic manner as Dietrich's shows and earlier presentations, with Moon (as the writer) offering his own obvious attitude of contempt for established history.
It is well known that Peter Moon essentially wrote the book after editing Dietrich's previously unreadable, illegible ranting screeds and revised transcriptions of Dietrich's previous shows, excerpts, and presentations. But Moon's rambling, repetitive and disorganized style of writing is apparent. The chapters are essentially brief but lack an organized structure that frequently dwells on unsubstantiated facts then reverts to a repetition of others, sometimes in connected or adjoining paragraphs.
The tenuous connections to Japanese POWs interned at Roswell are replete with falsehoods. Although there were Japanese internment camps in New Mexico, the majority were occupied by Americans of Japanese descent and not POWs. In fact, the POWs nearest to Roswell were German, not Japanese.
Examples of other erroneous claims are the images of a Japanese man plagued with Leprosy whom they falsely assert was a Yakuza, POW, and surviving victim of the Roswell crash, and the story of an Indonesian born citizen of the Netherlands captured by the Japanese as a boy (11) in 1943, whom they claim was a survivor of the Bataan Death March in the Philippines in 1942.
Despite Moon's long history of writing and publishing, this "work" is poorly written and constructed and will not likely survive a higher level of a more credentialed historical scrutiny than my own".
The book offers few, if any, attributions to reliable or accessible (linked or paged books in or out of print) sources and is neither footnoted nor provides a bibliography of works cited.

Although most of Dietrich's claims about the war in the Pacific are included in this pathetic work of fiction, his claim that the USS Indianapolis was sunk by Japanese "occult" weapons, is noticeably absent.

Moon writes in his preface to the book:
"It is normal and routine for any reasonably well educated person in today’s world to believe that the Japanese lost World War II, unconditionally surrendering to the Allied Powers on September 2, 1945 in a signed ceremony aboard the U.S.S. Missouri. While there was indeed a ceremony on that date aboard the Missouri, nothing could be further than the truth about an unconditional surrender or a genuine surrender of any kind. The idea of an unconditional surrender or even a Japanese surrender is a myth that was very cleverly created by the Office of War Information..."
(Dietrich, Douglas; Moon, Peter. The Roswell Deception and the Demystification of World War II (p. 6). Sky Books. Kindle Edition.)
Of course, Dietrich has his own "preface" of sorts as a disclaimer:
"I have been monitored by interested parties who perceive themselves to be threatened by what I expose. This includes being trolled extensively on the internet and having the telephone/cable box outside by home routinely doctored with different technology. These claims are well documented. If what I have to offer can just be laughed off as speculative hearsay, there would be no motive for the extent of monitoring and gang-stalking that is directed at me. What I offer to you here can be validated by doing your own research."
"In the end, you yourself and the other readers will serve as the collective jury, all of which will determine the relative impact this book will have on the world at large."
(Dietrich, Douglas; Moon, Peter. The Roswell Deception and the Demystification of World War II (p. 17). Sky Books. Kindle Edition.)
Although Dietrich still contends the Roswell Incident involved Japanese "aircraft" and "POWs" he has toned that down by describing the "alien" pilots as Japanese Yakuza - who were POWs.
In one example, I demonstrate how easily most of the claims made in the book can be refuted. Dietrich provided images of a Japanese man he claims was a surviving POW of the Roswell Crash, who was horribly disfigured after being tortured by his American captors.
From Chapter 35: Page 281 -
"Above is a Japanese prisoner of war who was tortured by the Americans. His extensive burns suggest he was an actual survivor from the Roswell crash".
(Dietrich, Douglas; Moon, Peter. The Roswell Deception and the Demystification of World War II (p. 347). Sky Books. Kindle Edition.)
Toshizo Nagamine:
"After being diagnosed with leprosy, Tetsuo Sakurai was forced to leave home at the age of 15. He didn’t return for more than 60 years.
Tetsuo Sakurai was born Toshizo Nagamine in 1924 in Myodo-zaki, a small village in Tsugaru in the far north of Japan’s main island of Honshu.
In 1941 Toshizo entered Kuryu Rakusenen, one of 13 sanatoria established by the Japanese government between 1909 and 1945, and was given the new name, Tetsuo Sakurai."

If I can research the origin of this man and refute Dietrich's claim by proving he was nowhere near the US before, during, or after WW2, anyone can.
Dietrich never even cites his actual name! Moon should receive much of the blame and scrutiny for this book as he is the editor and publisher. Because he knows damn well that none of it is true.
Another example of an absolute falsehood presented by Dietrich is the story of Wouter Hobe.
http://www.kumpulana.ca/stories/A_Day_in_the_Life.html
In the book, Dietrich presents Hobe as being an American POW captured by the Japanese on Bataan in 1942. He presents a few emails between Hobe and himself, "as evidence". When these images are enlarged, however, there are no references to Bataan at all.
Hobe, a Dutch citizen born on Java, was captured at the age of 11 and interned in several camps as a prisoner of the Japanese in the Dutch East Indies (Java) from 1943-45. He returned to the Netherlands in 1947 and emigrated to Canada with his wife in 1959.

Personnel doses:
"Dose reconstructions are based on (1) residual radiation measurements, documented and published shortly after the bombings, (2) extensive review and analysis of the residual radioactivity in ensuing decades, (3) veteran activities, (4) the documented arrival and departure dates of each military unit which operated in the vicinity of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, (5) and potential fallout contact exposure. Doses received by veterans at Nagasaki were generally low; the approximate maximum external dose based on a presence for entire interval from September 16, 1945, to July 1, 1946, is 1.25 rem.
The book also contains various (brief) references to Michael Aquino which Moon uses to set up his reference for another book concerning Dietrich and the Presidio. Of course, I expected this to be exactly what it is, but am a bit stunned to discover it is worse than I expected. Despite Barbarick's (Moon) long history of writing and publishing, this "work" is poorly written and constructed and will not likely survive a higher level of a more credentialed scrutiny than my own.
At 1:51:50, Dietrich said a reviewer named Aron Tice and Peter Moon wrote to him claiming I had reported Aron's review which was subsequently removed. This is not true. In fact, there were two 5-Star reviews at that time, and I had also published a more detailed review on my blog. I was concerned more with editing my review in order to make it brief while also observing Amazon's Community Guidelines, than the other reviews because I had already expected all of Dietrich's monkeys would post 5-Star comments lauding Dietrich as a brave, irrefutable revisionist (and I was right).
They further asserted that my review "took the book off the market" and "no one could purchase the Kindel version". Also, not true.
"Richard K Cole has the power to move mountains as a chaos champion and he has all the cult behind him," Dietrich said. "He has bottomless resources so he is not a petty problem to be dismissed." "We will have to discuss this privately (Moon and Dietrich) because Richard Cole is now Peter Moon's problem."
"Everyone must report him and complain because it is terrorism" - Douglas Dietrich
At 2:02:00: "The more people report it, Amazon will take the review down" - Salaman Shiekh
"People don't want to hear that Japan won the war, they rebel"...They (Dietrich's monkeys) could create a new identity and start making reviews under a different name. How the hell do they (Amazon) know?" - Peter Moon
Since then I have noticed someone indicated my review was "helpful". Rather than address the actual content of my review, which accurately describes the pathetic, disorganized way the book was written and refutes specific topics in Dietrich's book using easily obtained evidence, they incite his followers to remove my review by "gangstalking" it and claiming it is an act of terrorism!

Meanwhile, Moon is still "proofreading" the paper-back version before sending it to the printer and admits finding a slew of errors he had to correct! He has estimated it might be 6-8 weeks before the printed version is available for sale.
Totally bizarre.
Bradley clearly wrote she would interview Dietrich to discuss his POS book, but Dietrich had other ideas.Dietrich said it was a waste of time and a "reiteration" after the Moon interview, which he said was "dry" and might better have been a rebuking of Dietrich for being such an asshole during the year it was being written. And when he discovered Bradley would not release her control of the interview, Dietrich made it a fucking circus freak fanfest of blood-drinking, crossdressing, and various other bullshit. The live interview had several interruptions and never exceeded 10 viewers. It was a total joke. Bradley has published it to YouTube in 3 parts, removing the live chat replay!
Dietrich now rightly claims there is another work of fiction available with the same title. The Roswell Deception by Bob Aronson (2017) is certainly science fiction.

"The future of mankind is a billion years ago. If the secrets contained in two spaceships can be unlocked mankind will take a giant leap from the 21st to the 26th century.
The Roswell Deception is a science fiction story about the accidental discovery of two massive spaceships hundreds of feet underground in Lechuguilla Cave in the Carlsbad Caverns just 100 miles from Roswell, New Mexico. The ships are not alien rather, they are from Earth's Sarann Civilization from one-billion years ago.
The 1947 discovery and the crash of a UFO at Roswell happen almost simultaneously. The government uses Roswell to keep attention away from Lechuguilla. But -- it all begins to unravel in the early 21st century when Dr. Rayce Madisson, President Nancie Fitzgerald and a hologram named Whitfield combine forces to try to save the planet.
Heroes and villains abound in a saga that is filled with intrigue, double crosses, political chicanery, unbelievable science and technology, and a space battle of epic proportions. The surprises keep coming until the very last page."
But a second book of the same title also exists, and it is an expertly written work of historical non-fiction. The Roswell Deception by James Carrion (2018) does not seem available on Amazon, (that's why Dietrich has not found it). If Dietrich does know about it, he is deceptively keeping his listeners away from it as he does not name either author.
" In his latest work, The Roswell Deception, writer, researcher, former intelligence analyst, and former MUFON International Director James Carrion further lays out his hypothesis of human deception surrounding the now famous UFO Summer of '47 and, particularly, the Roswell incident. Readers unfamiliar with Carrion's previous work, Anachronism, will find themselves better informed of the dynamics and proposed possibilities if they read it before diving into The Roswell Deception."
https://www.theufochronicles.com/2018/12/the-roswell-deception-by-james-carrion.html
The Carrion Roswell Deception is 523 pages and heavily end-noted with over 800 citations that are presented in a Bibliography of 25 pages! Truly astounding. You can read the book for free here: https://www.keepandshare.com/doc13/21520/the-roswell-deception-by-james-carrion-pdf-7-8-meg?dn=y
Dietrich is so disgusted with his own book that he says he intends to have Peter Moon "re-release the book under a new title with a bunch of other stuff I can add in" (Good luck with that.)
