 American Antigravity - Nick Cook's "The Hunt for Zero Point"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Cook's interest in Antigravity began when he stumbled across an article on antigravity technology written in the 1950's that proclaimed a solution to the problem of generating antigravity within a matter of a few years.
Cook doesn't approach an explanation of Antigravity technology as most writers would -- instead, he puts the pieces together one at a time for the reader, providing a continuity of research that draws the reader in and provides a very thorough and intricate understanding of the political and technological era in which this research occurred.
Cook does an excellent job of providing continuity in research spanning over 70 years of technological development, and offers insight into the culture of classified research that can only be provided by someone with his professional experience.
