The Best Book on the Subject, August 5, 1999
Reviewer: A reader from Toledo, Ohio
Mr Kusche finally puts to rest the legend of the Bermuda Triangle. He takes all the stories and legends on a case-by-case basis and explains and proves 90% of them. The other 10% simply don't have enough information available to draw any conclusion. His chapter on Flight 19 is excellent and compelling and leaves no question to what happend to the legendary "Lost Patroll". --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

The only book on the "Bermuda Triangle" worth reading, July 26, 1999
Reviewer: [email protected] from Seattle, WA USA
To this day, the Bermuda Triangle is regarded by many as a mysterious zone of influence within which an unusual number of ships and planes disappear without a trace. At the very least, its reputation as a region associated with some unspecified danger remains. Why this is so, after the first publication of Mr. Kusche's book more than twenty years ago, is perhaps a more interesting question than whether or not the Bermuda Triangle's reputation is deserved. Regardless, it is this latter question that Kusche attempts to answer. His approach is simply to do the necessary research--whenever and wherever he encounters an account or tale of tragedy in the Bermuda Triangle, he looks up the relevant accounts and finds the facts. If the facts leave the fate of the ship or plane(s) ambiguous, he says so. If his research turns up a likely explanation, he is forthright and direct in proposing it.

What Kusche finds, in sum, is that the Bermuda Triangle is essentially a myth. Many of the Bermuda Triangle disappearances are not nearly as mysterious as has been suggested; some ships that were lost in supposedly calm seas were in fact sailing into fierce storms, while others were lost nowhere near the Triangle area itself. Several of the tragedies said to have occurred there are associated with no records at all--leaving one to wonder how popularizers of this "mystery" can be certain that there was anything to disappear. Before Mr. Kusche's research the Bermuda Triangle "mystery" melts away, leaving nothing more substantial than an urban legend. Writers such as Charles Berlitz are revealed as writers of fiction in thin disguise [Berlitz was co-author of the first published book on the alleged crash of a UFO at Roswell, New Mexico, which should do much to illuminate the reliability of that story as well]. This book is reasonably well written and easy to get through. If you want to read about the Bermuda Triangle, this is the only book I would recommend. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

It makes you think and listen carefully to what others tell, April 11, 1999
Reviewer: A reader from Westland, Michigan
I read every book that I could on the Bermuda Triangle in the 1970's. Mr. Kusche's was refreshingly different. Mr. Kusche gave me the idea to use interlibrary loan to do research and obtain books, which is how he did his research. Also, his book made me wonder about other cases that he had not examined. I decided to investigate one and with nothing more than one letter found out that was described as a mysterious plane disappearence was nothing more than a tragic crash in the mountains of South America (stretching the boundary of the Triangle to the south). In his earliest edition Mr. Kusche did not do justice to the Flight 19 disappearence. However, his sequeal, The Disappearence of Flight 19, restored my confidence. Hopefully this latest edition made improvements in his coverage of the topic. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5 Stars for an excellent metaphor, March 16, 1999
Reviewer: [email protected] from Sacramento, CA
It amazes me that in this day and age critics are still dualistic, worrying about is it fact or is it fiction, true or false, etc. The Bermuda Triangle is a beautiful metaphor for a "way out" of an intolerable situation or miserable life. Use the Imagination: pass through the triangle and never come back to disease, misery, unhappines, etc. (See Jung's work on Active Imagination and get going). --This text refers to the Paperback edition
