Blank Spots on the Map: The Dark Geography of the Pentagon’s Secret World
This narrative unfolds as an adventurous, enlightening, and at times unsettling tale of a journey through a concealed realm of classified state information. It encompasses covert military bases, black sites, undisclosed laboratories, and classified agencies collectively known as the “black world” among insiders. Geographer and provocateur Trevor Paglen takes readers along as he visits CIA prisons, observes a covert air base in Nevada from a vantage point 30 miles away, dissects the Defense Department’s secretive multibillion-dollar budget, and engages in conversations with those dwelling on the fringes of these obscured locations.
