It is the most famous military installation in the world. And
it doesn’t exist. Located a mere seventy-five miles outside of Las
Vegas in Nevada’s desert, the base has never been acknowledged by
the U.S. government-but Area 51 has captivated imaginations for
decades.
Myths and hypotheses about Area 51 have long abounded, thanks to
the intense secrecy enveloping it. Some claim it is home to aliens,
underground tunnel systems, and nuclear facilities. Others believe
that the lunar landing itself was filmed there. The prevalence of
these rumors stems from the fact that no credible insider has ever
divulged the truth about his time inside the base. Until now.
Annie Jacobsen had exclusive access to nineteen men who served
the base proudly and secretly for decades and are now aged 75-92,
and unprecedented access to fifty-five additional military and
intelligence personnel, scientists, pilots, and engineers linked to
the secret base, thirty-two of whom lived and worked there for
extended periods. In Area 51, Jacobsen shows us what has really
gone on in the Nevada desert, from testing nuclear weapons to
building super-secret, supersonic jets to pursuing the War on
Terror.
This is the first book based on interviews with eye witnesses to
Area 51 history, which makes it the seminal work on the subject.
Filled with formerly classified information that has never been
accurately decoded for the public, Area 51 weaves the mysterious
activities of the top-secret base into a gripping narrative,
showing that facts are often more fantastic than fiction,
especially when the distinction is almost impossible to make.
