I have to admit that I purchased this book based strictly on the title which I really try to avoid doing because I'm usually disappointed. Well, this time around I was..... disappointed. Instead of Top Secret Tourism a more fitting title should have been Conspiracy Tourism. While the book does provided some interesting tidbits about some of these places and in someways does make for a useful book if you ever wanted to visit any of these places, it goes overboard when it starts talking about FEMA. (Still trying to understand people who criticize the government for attempting to be prepared for disasters and emergencies but then criticize the government for building these facilities!) There is also a lengthy (by this book's standard) section about CIA, cover-ups and drug smuggling all based on conjecture. So, instead of writing up a little history book that people could use because many of these places are actually open to the public, most of the writing quickly devolves into conspiratorial ravings with little to no evidence to support his writings. Its a fun read but just remember to take everything with grain of salt and for a couple of them you will need a salt shaker.
