Remote Viewers is a tale of the Pentagon's attempts to develop the perfect tool for espionage: psychic spies. These psychic spies, or "remote viewers," were able to infiltrate any target, elude any form of security, and never risk scratch. For twenty years, the government selected civilian and military personnel for psychic ability, trained them, and put them to work, full-time, at taxpayers' expense, against real intelligence targets. The results were so astonishing that the program soon involved more than a dozen separate agencies, including the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Council, the FBI, the National Security Agency, the Secret Service, the Navy, the Army, the Air Force, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the US Customs Service, the US Special Forces Command, and at least one Pentagon drug-interaction task force. Most of this material is still officially classified.
After three years of research, with access to numerous sources in the intelligence community--including the remote viewers themselves--science writer Jim Schnabel reveals the secret details of the strangest chapter in the history of espionage.

If you wanted some detail, this book has it.
By A Customer
Jim Schnabel first showed up on the remote viewing scene in late 1995, with an RV documentary he pulled together with the help of his personal friends in the CIA ("The Real X-Files," Discovery Channel USA and Channel 5 Britain), which aired around the time the program was being declassified, and coincidentally presented the same view the CIA had told the world about remote viewing. A parade of titles and military ribbons, Schnabel's first-attempt at documenting RV history mostly, in the name of supposedly supporting it, managed to invalidate it, both by featuring the least legitimate person in the whole program, and by overtly omitting a great deal of information. So, it was with a great deal of nervousness that I read his book "Remote Viewers."
On the positive side, this book has a tremendous amount of detail, some of it hard-won. It's the only book by an 'outsider' to the field (although it shows as much or more bias in some areas as books by ! insiders, so I'm not sure if that matters). It documents in detail many of the "amazing stories" in remote viewing that I have heard first-hand from many of the people involved with the former government program. It was nice to hear a compilation of these accounts in one place, and in that sense, it does provide some validation of remote viewing, and some very interesting reading.
It is worth noting that darn near every amazing story in Schnabel's book, other than a few related to now-deceased folks, is attributed to Joe McMoneagle, who thus far seems to carry the entire burden of 'proving RV' on his shoulders (while everybody else makes money off supposed expertise at the subject). It is a little confusing though, that the book presents it as if McMoneagle were the primary source of info or something, when that is not the case. According to subsequent interviews with McMoneagle, he barely interviewed with Jim at all, and nearly all that info Schnabel just lift! ed from existing interviews, Joe's book MIND TREK, etc. Sc! hnabel presents it otherwise, to say the least.
There are even a couple of places, one in particular (related to Joe supposedly seeing grey, large-eyed aliens) that is an outright fabrication tacked onto an otherwise legitimate account - why? Why would Schnabel throw that in when Joe said no such thing himself? It does little but serve to discredit an otherwise no-nonsense man who has worked hard to distance himself from just that sort of thing.
That really disappointed me. I could understand Schnabel featuring McMoneagle -- after all, nobody truly looking into this field could come to many other conclusions -- but it was a backhanded and questionable compliment to pretend a source he didn't have, and then present things so... creatively. I wondered if maybe Schnabel's notorious need to 'debunk' everything (as he allegedly did with Crop Circles in a previous book) was creeping in there.
There is one startling bias in the book that people outside the RV field may not n! otice, but which anybody in it should find horrifying. The entire foundation and legitimacy of RV is dependent, first and foremost, on the laboratory research under highly controlled conditions. The controls ('the protocol') are in fact the definition of the difference between 'remote viewing' and 'psychic work' --the science is the whole reason RV was granted some legitimacy and utilized at all.
Yet, Schnabel deliberately focused on the "psychic methods" of one man, invented a good decade after RV itself was used to demonstrate and get funding by the US Gov't (and which was one of a number of methods utilized). He carried forward a deliberate and ongoing, highly publicized mythology in this field, that 'remote viewing', which has been in progressive study since the early 70's by many individuals, is summed up by "the psychic methods Ingo Swann compiled in the 80's." (These methods are a unique conglomerate of many sources, most notably French research! er Rene Warcollier's work, and a little bit of Swann/Puthof! f's "Scientology" influence.) Mr. Swann deserves respect, but he and his later methods are not the center of, nor are they the summation of, remote viewing as a field. This focus may seem like only a subtle misunderstanding, but it has been used to completely annihilate the credibility of RV in the media, introduce literal mind-bending cults, tie RV into UFOlogy and half a decade of pre-existing disinformation, etc.
Methods used have little to do with what is inherently RV, although they do touch on the means that various remote viewers in the program may have gone about things. Probably the only Viewer who is currently "proven" in many areas is Joe McMoneagle, who as something of an irony, doesn't even use those methods. So...
Schnabel's book almost seems to focus AWAY from the science altogether. The physicist who directed 85% of the published research for the program (Dr. Edwin C. May of Cognitive Sciences Laboratory) was briefly mentioned as if he! were completely unimportant, and then ignored for the rest of the book. It was as if the entire science program ceased in 1985 -- which is rather ironic, since in fact, more was accomplished and demonstrated from 85-95 than previous to that, and even third party reviewers have commented on the improvement in the science since that date.
Schnabel seems very positive, yet in directing the reader away from what constitutes at least half the subject and history -- and the most legitimate part of it -- he subtly invalidates the subject while on the surface seeming to support it.
Perhaps he thought the average reader wouldn't be interested in science. Or perhaps he was trying to leave "a doorway out" for the continuing attempt that the CIA and other groups have made to discredit psi ability as part of the pretense that it is not used ("because it just isn't worthwhile, so you can trust us that we're not doing it") in black ops projects.
If you are inte! rested in remote viewing, don't miss this book. But, be aw! are that there is more than one side to any story...

Detailed, documented and well written. The Best RV Book.
By A Customer
Schnabel takes a complex and hidden history and lays it out in a very readable fashion. Great journalism is about the detail under the surface as well as the stories behind the leading characters. I found this book gave me a good balance of detail and drama. I come away "knowing" the characters and a bit of their motivations.
I've read many, many books on RV and OBEs(Swann, Moorehouse, Brown, Monroe, Atwater, Sinclair, etc.). This was by far the most detailed, well-researched and well-documented. If you're interested in RV, this is definitely the book to start with.
I disagree with some of the previous reviews about Schnabel's agenda. I perceive no agenda here. It seems quite well balanced.
Summary: a fascinating subject treated with diligence and delivered well by a very good writer. If there were a sequel, I'd buy it.

Remote Viewing Primer
By MatterPatterns
"Remote Viewers" by Jim Schnabel remains as the most comprehensive book on the history and development of the Remote Viewing Program within the United States as any I have ever read. His perspective as an investigative reporter from the outsider being exposed to the phenomenon of RV research for the first time, gave him the unique opportunity to take a more broad view of the entire history of the subject, and the personalities involved. The astounding developments of notable "psi events" obtained through the methods employed by the various RV teams keep the reader turning pages in fascination while at the same time weaving in the history and step by step development of the different techniques used to achieve those astounding events. Instead of a singular biography, as so many of the RV books have become, this book is more of a collection of biographies, and unabashedly even covers the tensions and personality clashes that occurred under such a stressful and competitive project.
Such "psi events" include seeing and being able to accurately illustrate people and places distant in space and time, the ability to influence the health of individuals by mental prowess, telekinesis, even the ability to affect electronic equipment at a distance by powers of the mind alone. Further to his credit, the author gives a detailed description of the competition between various countries to develop such techniques, leaving this reader further convinced of the urgency of continued and more varied research into this subject. In reading this book for the second time, I became more acutely aware of a phenomenon called telepathic interrogation, where remote viewers were able to negotiate with the mind of soviet spies over a distance, without the soviet spies even realizing what was taking place! It makes one wonder, when contemplating to the conversations we have in our minds when making decisions, who it is we are actually debating with! Like any great goal that is sought, the RV phenomenon is not without risks as well, and those are discussed in this book, although few specific cases are given.
I found the information within this book both encouraging; in as far as we have come in this taboo subject in a relatively short time. On the other hand, it is also discouraging, in that at least as far as we are told, the lack of funding for research in this field has resulted in a stagnation of what should become the greatest hope for humanity, rather than a mere instrument for war. I cannot help but wonder, does it never occur to any of these countries, rather than "remote influencing" a target into cardiac arrest, why not "remote influence" the target into philanthropic, or humanitarian goals? I am further discouraged that loss of funding seems to prohibit a broader investigation, such as the Chinese work with light frequencies showing up on sensitive film as a result of remote viewing, on page 233. It would seem there are several avenues largely open to further investigation, such as historical procedures for engaging the "signal line", or remote viewing under hypnosis.
"Remote Viewers" by Jim Schnabel remains, in this reader's opinion, the primer for all those interested in exploring first hand the mysteries of psychic phenomenon and its application in today's world.
