Annie Jacobsen’s Area 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base rose to #2 on Amazon, as a result of the author’s appearances on two influential shows, NPR’s Fresh Air and Comedy Central’s Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

The book was embargoed and was not reviewed prepub.

One of the author’s claims received skeptical attention from Bloomberg and the SF Chronicle yesterday, Roswell Martians Might Have Been Nazi Kids From Mengele’s Lab.

Jon Stewart said, “Read it from page one; it will blow your mind.”
