Secret
Bases, Secret Wars, Vol. I:
Groom Lake, the Tonopah Test Range, and the Hidden Wars of the Basin
and Range
2004
This is the first volume in a series of pamphlets about the "secret
bases" of the western U.S. Volume I. is about “Area 51”
and the Tonopah Test Range, two bases in central Nevada that are
home to experimental aircraft and weapons.
Both of these bases are on land that the Western Shoshone tribe
claims sovereignty over, pointing to the Treaty of Ruby Valley as
the legal document in which their sovereignty was recognized by
the U.S. Thus, the “simulated” wars at these restricted
military sites might be described a continuation of the 19th Century
Indian Wars.
