Built under the direction of the CIA in the 1950s, the base served as the original test site for the U-2 spy plane and F-117 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA modern classic of the genre and a thorough and deep assessment of what exactly is up with Area 51. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alarum Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48967620952372,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/4895\/3652\/files\/PXL_20251213_202751705.jpg?v=1765748281","url":"https:\/\/alarumbooks.com\/products\/area-51-the-dreamland-chronicles-david-darlington","provider":"Alarum Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
