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 40 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 full 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.
