America’s Book of Secrets: Special Edition
Much of American history is widely available to anyone who is interested, but a more shadowy history lingers on the edges of public awareness. Each episode of this new twohour series provides new access to viewers when it comes to stories and places that have been shrouded in secrecy from average citizens. Past episodes have ventured inside the Pentagon, the FBI, Area 51 and the White House, but producers of this new special edition promise to go deeper, further and wider than ever before.
