What lies beneath? David Duchovny takes us into the top-secret government bases and the clandestine operations they were built to conceal. Discover a deadly poison lab operated by the Soviet Union's infamous "Doctor Death," a vast nuclear missile site buried beneath the Greenland ice sheet, and the U.S. government's doomsday bunker concealed inside a hollowed-out mountain.

While wars may be won by men, they're fought with weapons--and every country wanted to leave nothing to chance. Teetering between the apocalyptic and absurd, declassified records will unveil the top secret weapons programs that attempted to bring down the world, uncovering the Soviet atomic test that shook the Earth with a force 1,500 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, the CIA's creation of a gun that fired a shellfish-harvested toxin, and the Allies' bizarre secret plan to end World War II by feminizing Hitler.
