Blank Spots On The Map; The Dark Geography of the Pentagon's Secret World

By Trevor Plagen

"Cerebral, unconventional tour of sites deemed top secret by the U.S. government. Paglen ...., the son of an Air Force physician,....set out to visit those sites, sometimes openly, sometimes through subterfuge. His tour included Air Force bases in California and Georgia; a weapons laboratory in New Mexico; staging areas in Honduras and Afghanistan; a remote section of the Mojave Desert; government agency buildings in the D.C. area; even downtown Las Vegas, where from an 18th-floor hotel room he used a telescope and other instruments to chart comings and goings between the airport and classified installations elsewhere in Nevada......demonstrating that even the most determined government cannot keep sites completely secret, given their physical manifestations on the ground."
