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 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 20 men who served on the base proudly
and secretly for decades and are now aged 75-92; she also had unprecedented
access to 55 additional military and intelligence personnel, scientists,
pilots, and engineers linked to the secret base, 32 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
supersecret supersonic jets to pursuing the War on Terror. This is the first
book based on interviews with eyewitnesses 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 fact is often more fantastic than fiction, especially when the
distinction is almost impossible to make.
