. >> host: zaheer ali are there still some archives not available?guest: yes. thousands of pages of fbi documents in new york police department documents in his research dr. marable u.s over 6,000 pages of material from the freedom of information act request and last month the fbi put on the website a new batch of files on malcolm x. there is still much more to be known about what our government knew about malcolm and how involved they were in the organization in. one interesting thing we found is malcolm, the first page of his fbi file began 1950 while he was in prison. he had just come from islam but had written a president from president truman protesting the korean war so based on that letter the fbi began the first file. another interesting insight how deeply embedded the fbi was into all organizations, 1954 malcolm traveling the country setting of temples and it was hosting a small meeting in a family home. maybe 10 to 12 people but one of those was the fbi informant. 1954 before the nation of islam had received any publicity at all or before i

and that led me to tremendous trove of documents with the national archives and the wisconsin historical society and madison wisconsin of all places. but the main obstacle is the same my face within a book is findings the material. you have to go the distance. i loved going to berlin to see blood is there now but also a feel for berlin but subtle things. for example, one thing i did not know or appreciate this how close everything all the action takes place around its year garden. hence the title "in the garden of beasts." all of those actions are around the eastern corridor of the park. what i've learned is everything was so close together just a 15 minute walk to dodd to gestapo headquarters to the building i don't know why that was important but it was. and the first time i opened my hotel window over berlin and looked over the year guard and i thought of corpus christi. very five. >> i am a very big fan of yours and i know we all feel gifted to partaking in your stories you are wonderful part of.

those documents are located in the atomic energy commission archived. alladi even located a photographs, but it didn't look to me like anyone else had looked at them and i had a difficult time trying to find them but to find someone who had knowledge of that and knew it had been declassified. i was able to talk freely about that program and he was able to give me some keywords to look at the program and access it the project was called 57 that everything was classified under the project organized. so, all of the programs that i talk about except for the program in the end has actually been declassified. it's just that a lot of them are kind of hidden or perhaps people were not interested in them in and of themselves. i think part of what makes my book interesting is that all i try to give you the whole landscape of area 51, and it's near neighbors and what was going on. >> i have another one about the aliens to work according to your source not aliens at all. were there autopsy's done on their roswell victim's? according to his story, too actually, and

that was something the rosenbergs did, the pumpkin papers is one reason why the alger hits archive, one reason this was called the pentagon papers so there was that connection. but this was the first time that this was really seen as an episode of patriotism. and ever since 1971 we had begun to believe the idea of the crusader who finds government secrets that should not be secret, give them to the public. shortly after this with watergate we saw what bad secrets government kos really keep. >> you looked into this the decision to publish by the times was a hard one. >> it was a very carefully considered decision, three months locking people up in hotel rooms in new york, review them. they wanted to be responsible. tried to establish that the information was not going to harm the u.s. national security. it seems almost quaint now to think that people would spend so much time making that decision. and then of course when the first, when a stay was granted to prevent continued publication, that's when elseburg took the papers to then 40-year-old-- to the "washington post". and eventually 1

i thought this to be a very valuable archive. and the congressman sitting next to me with jackie and he said, are you keeping a diary? i said yeah, this could be really important history. he shook his head and said that violate the rule. you can't keep a diary. i said, what is the packwood will? he said they can't subpoena which you don't break down. he said i'm a look around the room. do you see anybody else keeping a? and i looked around. other than occasional to that page and see anyone else doing anything interesting. i kept writing at the sydney about with this impression. but i felt that this would be very, very important archive. the question is, why publish this now? why not do it 11 or 12 years ago? i had a number of people we been publishing contracts. it was not a secret and people seem to not care after a while. seems like background noise. after president clinton's impeachment 12 years ago, i had a bunch of publishers say this to be a great book and so forth and i refuse to read the book. i did not feel that was a ti
