An extraordinary book ... Discovering what really happened at
Roswell is the holy grail of conspiracy theorists ... What if there
were not one but two conspiracies involving Cold War propaganda

unprecedented interviews with personnel at Area 51 Jacobsen's
argument may not be as outrageous as it sounds

revelatory ... Ms Jacobsen has put together a set of strong
allegations about Area 51's covert history ... Her research is
compellingly hard-hitting ... the book is noteworthy for its
author's dogged devotion to her research ... it makes an indelible
