Reup Area 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base - Annie Jacobsen

Area 51
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.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Cauldron-stirring. [AREA 51] is not science fiction. It is an assertive account, revelatory … Ms. Jacobsen has put together a set of strong allegations about Area 51’s covert history … Her research into the world of ‘overhead,’ the aerial espionage that needed to be developed in extreme secrecy, is compellingly hard-hittting … the book is noteworthy for its author’s dogged devotion to her research.”—The New York Times
“A compelling narrative of 50 years of covert operations by the CIA, the U.S. military, and the mysterious “Atomic Energy Commission”…. Her meticulous research makes for a fascinating read, as it intersperses the accounts of secret government projects with anecdotes from the people who made those projects happen.”—Rachel Larimore, Slate
“An informative history…about the creativity, political acumen and courage of the high-flying Cold Warriors who sought to protect the free world in the decades after World War II.”—Andrew Dunn, Bloomberg

This was a great book, I found it fascinating. Though there is a mildly sensationalist epilogue which references some of the crazier things we might associate with Area 51, the vast majority of the book clearly seems to be well-researched and grounded in journalistic reportage—and that part is pretty crazy in parts, as well. The stuff on the SR71 alone is incredible. I purchased a legal copy from Amazon and read it on my Kindle, so I don’t need the audiobook, but I am going to download and seed for a bit anyway because it’s great.

OOh looking forward to this one! Thanks for sharing and @DarkerEyes thanks for the review, helped me make my mind up to grab it because theres been so many badly-done books about Area 51, good to get a positive review.

Americans will love it, the rest of the world will be left shaking their heads at Jacobsen’s simplistic, flag waving jingoism. She has no understanding of aviation, doesn’t check her facts, and is completely unable to place these momentous events in a nuanced geopolitical context.
(On another note, if this is how the shining “free world” carried on in the sixties, we should have been backing the Russians.)
