Area 51, Dreamland, Groom Lake, Paradise Ranch, Watertown Strip, the Box: all refer to the topsecret research installation, located a hundred miles north of Las Vegas, which, for many, has come to stand for all that is shadowy and nefarious about the militaryindustrialintelligence complex. Built under the direction of the CIA in the 1950s, the base served as the original test site for the U2 spy plane and F117 stealth fighter jet. In more recent years, Area 51 has spurred public interest from its role in the government's $30 billion 'Black Budget,' from legal claims of worker illness due to toxic burning, and from sensational charges about captured alien spacecraft. It has also given birth to a feisty guerrilla subculture bent on exploding the secrecy surrounding this mysterious spot. David Darlington unfolds the history, legs, and characters involved with Area 51, weaving a weird tale of intrigue and outrage that speaks volumes about popular culture and American democracy at the of the twentieth century.
