The Moon Landing. JFK. Watergate. The Gunpowder Plot. 9/11. The New World Order. Since the political intrigues of the Roman Empire, nearly every significant event of the last 2,000 years has sparked off a conspiracy theory. Andy Thomas sifts through the evidence of more than 30 major conspiracies and sets them against the social and psychological factors that have prompted them to spread.

Thematically arranged, the accounts are stripped of unfounded opinion and presented factually but accessibly, dramatically highlighting the core issues. It is up to the reader to decide where the ultimate truth behind each theory lies. False-flag conspiracies Did Winston Churchill seal the fate of the ocean linear Lusitania to bring the Americans into the First World War? Did President Franklin D. Roosevelt sacrifice Pearl Harbor to enemy action? Political conspiracies Do anomalies in the photographic evidence and other areas really support the theory that the Moon landings were faked by NASA in a studio? Was WikiLeaks a manipulated plot to distract from other, more serious crimes? Asassination conspiracies Was Diana, Princess of Wales, murdered, as many people think? Were there other gunmen present at the shooting of JFK? Did UN weapons inspector David Kelly really take this own life? 9/11 and related conspiracies Could the attacks of 9/11 have been engineered by agencies within the USA itself? Did the 7/7 London bombings really take place as we were told? Extra-terrestrial conspiracies Was evidence of a crashed flying saucer and its alien passengers found near Roswell, New Mexico, hidden in the legendary Area 51? Did a race of reptilian aliens seed a bloodline aeon ago which has been handed down through the ruling classes over the centuries? New World Order conspiracies Is there a secret governing elite ruling from the shadows, using fear, economic manipulation and control agendas to create a network of global superstates? What will happen to individual liberty if micro-chipping is enforced in an increasingly intrusive surveillance state? Book jacket.
