Book Description:
|
An expose of an empire that continues to grow every year-and which, officially, it isn't even there. It is the adventurous, insightful and often chilling story of a young geographer's road trip through the underworld of US military and C.I.A. 'black ops' sites. This is a shadow nation of state secrets: clandestine military bases, ultra-secret black sites, classified factories, hidden laboratories and top-secret agencies that even those in the intelligence services call 'the black world'.
