- Synopsis
- The man &“who has done more than anyone to lift the veil of secrecy . . . about what&’s unfolded out there in the desert&” reveals the origins of Area 51 (KLAS 8 News Now). In 1955, the Central Intelligence Agency established a clandestine base of operations in the Nevada desert with a mission to protect the United States from a growing communist threat. Special projects at Area 51 were shrouded in mystery, and the first was one of the world&’s most famous spy planes, the U-2. It fueled half-truths, rumors and legends for more than half a century. Now with many details of that endeavor declassified, the real story can finally be told. Author and Area 51 veteran TD Barnes sifts fact from fiction in one of America&’s most protected origin stories.
