A popular introduction to the world of conspiracy theories, with sections on everything from the sexual politics of the JFK and FDR eras, to the wild tales of Roswell.
▼
The result is a book in which the author seems to be reasonably balanced and sceptical about most of the wilder theories, but which shows a surprising credulity about flying saucer stories including the nonsense of Philip Corso. One also has to say that Alexander must have spent most of his high school history lessons ogling the cheerleaders rather than attending to the teacher, judging by some of the howlers here. Of course while conspiracy theorists ramble on about mind controlled sex slaves, alien bases, black helicopters and the black, Jewish, Freemason bankers in the Vatican, the real conspiracies of power and greed and those dirty deals with enemies' enemies, who always turn out to be even worse than the overt enemy.
