Discover the extraordinary true story of Project Greek Island, a massive 112,000-square-foot nuclear bunker secretly constructed beneath West Virginia's luxurious Greenbrier Resort during the Cold War. Learn how the U.S. government maintained this top-secret facility for over three decades, designed to house the entire Congress in the event of nuclear war, while disguising its operations beneath the daily activities of a five-star hotel. Explore the ingenious methods used to keep the bunker hidden, including undercover technicians posing as TV repairmen, and understand how this remarkable intersection of politics, paranoia, and hospitality remained concealed until a journalist's 1992 exposé brought the entire operation to light. Examine the construction challenges, operational procedures, and ultimate revelation of one of America's most fascinating Cold War secrets.
