Sinossi
Un'indagine avvincente e meticolosa sul luogo più discusso e concupito da ricercatori, curiosi, fan del cospirazionismo e cronisti: l'Area 51, nel deserto del Nevada, cuore di mille intrighi e segreti, in cui si intrecciano storia, politica, spionaggio, test nucleari, esperimenti militari inconfessabili, e perfino gli Ufo. Basandosi non su illazioni ma su colloqui con piloti, scienziati, ingegneri e agenti in pensione che hanno lavorato per anni nell'Area - e che nonostante il vincolo di segretezza hanno accettato di parlare -, il libro fa luce su decenni di misteri e rivela verità assolutamente inedite, a volte davvero sconvolgenti. A partire dalla spiegazione del celebre incidente di Roswell del 1947, il crash di un oggetto volante non identificato con i suoi stranissimi e inquietanti passeggeri, che ha alimentato innumerevoli ricostruzioni e altrettante leggende.

AREA 51, fact or fiction? This must be why the CIA came up with the connotation term known as the 'conspiracy theory.' What better way to fool the public than to make a fool of whistleblowers? Some of the stuff in this book is history while other parts seem just too fantastic, or should I say, out o Leggi tutto
I heard an interview with Jacobsen on Fresh Air which intrigued me. Then I got a sample chapter to see if it held up to a critical reading, and I was hooked. If all you know about Area 51 is the alien/spaceship wacko thing, then you can be forgiven for thinking that is what this is about. Rather, thi Leggi tutto
Annie Jacobsen is obsessed with secrecy. Her other book, Operation Paperclip, deals with the hidden machinations of the US government after WW II to find and import Nazi scientists who had special expertise in rocketry and chemical weapons. This book details the hidden history of Area 51, an ultra-se Leggi tutto
Lest you think this is 500 pages of UFO nuts: not hardly. It’s our military history, our aviation history, our hubris and folly and wizardry and triumph. The nuclear program, the Cold War, the Space Race; it all connects in a few hundred square miles of desert. And yet Jacobsen keeps this story focu Leggi tutto
I was just listening to Terry Gross interview Jacobsen on Fresh Air, and what I heard has really blown my mind, and I don't use that term, ever. I am definitely going to get a hold of this book asap. Jacobsen's final chapter of the book apparently concerns the 1947 Roswell alien-landing conspiracy th Leggi tutto
