"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
"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
