Publisher's Summary

It is the most famous military installation in the world. And no credible insider has ever divulged the truth about his time inside of it. Until now. This is the first book based on interviews with scientists, pilots, and engineers - 58 in total - who provide an unprecedented look into the mysterious activities of a top-secret base, from the Cold War to today. With a jaw-dropping ending, it proves that facts are often more fantastic than fiction, especially when the distinction is almost impossible to make.

Yes, I have heard of Area 51 who hasn't? However, the author has researched this subject amazingly. I couldnt put this book down. From start to finish it hooked me into this phenomenon. Definitely a must read!

👌

Annie does a fantastic reading of her book which has been put together exceptionally well. Decided to finally give it a listen after seeing her on Joe Rogan's podcast. I hoped to get more information about Bob Lazar but wasn't left disappointed.

Awesome book narrated by the author

I always find it best when the author narrates the book, and Annie does a wonderful job, an enthralling book that hooks you from the beginning, and is as addictive as every appearance and speech I have seen her appear at. I haven’t read all her books, but I’m going to and I hope she does more soon. Indispensable listening if you have a fascination with the world of secrets and government corruption. Brilliant.

Absolute madness.

America, Russia and China will be the death of humanity. FFS spend the money elsewhere.

Compelling history lesson on Area 51

Rivetting audiobook full of interrsting facts and figures around the people with the "right stuff". While the book contained many surprises possibly the biggest for me was the involvement of Stalin with the Roswell case.

Why this book should NOT be TOP SECRET

What a ride of a story! Annie Jacobsen draws you in with every sentence and every chapter giving you more and more on the top-secret military base that is, AREA 51!
I'm sure anyone who picks this book up is secretly a lover of conspiracy theories and most things 'war', but the historical information Annie describes, from the start of the Manhattan Project to the creation of the Lockheed U-2, is nothing short of breathtaking.
