Top Secret Tourism: Your Travel Guide to Germ Warfare Laboratories, Clandestine Aircraft Bases and Other Places in the United States You're Not Supposed to Know About Book

This is a fun guide to the U.S. government's secret spots sprinkled all across the country. Author Harry Helms supplies not only driving directions to places we aren't supposed to know about but also some idea of what's going on at each location. To be sure, it's somewhat under-inclusive. Even some obvious stuff - such as CIA headquarters in Langley, Va. - gets left off. Further, anyone trying to use this as an actual travel guide may find it of somewhat limited use; many of the sites included on the list can't actually be visited, and in some cases it's apparently illegal to even drive by them. Overall, however, this is an entertaining read as well as a solid introduction to the inner workings of America's secret government.
