Question Area Rule

I was reading an article about the Global Express and it stated that a feature associated with its advanced aerodynamics was the tail design with area-ruled aft fuselage. I believe that it results in lower drag at high speed but my books don't explain how - can anyone enlighten me with simplified explanations.
