Description

In the late 1940s, the U.S. Department of Defense established a nuclear weapons depository in the Manzano Mountains of New Mexico.

For more than 20 years, Manzano Base served as a maintenance and storage site for some of the most destructive weapons ever created.

Operated by the U.S. Air Force, the facility was small and obscure, with highly restricted access.

Its covert mission fostered a sense of mystery, leaving the public to speculate about what really went on there.

The site was decommissioned in 1992 yet its rich history continues to influence America's nuclear weapons program. This book tells the story of Manzano and the personnel who served there.

Firsthand accounts recall their experiences of nuclear weapons accidents, aircraft crashes, UFO/UAF sightings and a radiation demonstration called "tickling the tiger's tail."
