Not on My Roswell – Why the Joe Stalin Saucer Explanation for Roswell Is More Disinformation

In early May I was contacted by a publisher’s agent to ask if I would review Annie Jacobsen’s new book, AREA 51-An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base by Annie Jacobsen published by Little, Brown and Company New York, New York May 2011. Soon I received a high quality hardcover edition.

The book, AREA 51 is a very well organized and detailed history of the notorious above top secret test facility in the remote deserts of Nevada, the development of nuclear weapons capability in the United States after World War II, and the engineering of spy planes and stealth technology. What captivates the reader is the idea of finally learning anything definite about the location whose existence has been denied by government officials who must realize how silly they appear when the public commonly equates the phrase “Area 51” with extreme secrecy about advanced and possibly extraterrestrial aviation technology.
