The book may claim to chronicle the "greatest conspiracies of all time," but there's a decidedly 20th-century bent to Vankin and Whalen's compilation--not that there's anything wrong with that. Many of their selections are familiar territory--the Kennedy and King assassinations, government suppression of UFO data, questions about Marilyn Monroe's suicide--but this edition has been updated to include information on more recent events like the death of Princess Diana and the Oklahoma City bombing. (Although not without some disheartenment: "Back in the good ol' days when conspiracy theorists were still considered crackpots," they lament, "it actually took some kind of evidence to get this kind of frenzy under way.... Now anytime some poor sap dies every frat boy with an Internet account races to be the first in his quad to post the conspiracy of the moment.") The individual essays are written in savvy, journalistic prose, and the authors freely admit that they don't have the answers to any of these mysteries. But that's part of the entertainment value of such historical paranoia--you're always free to imagine some new twist.
Synopsis
Updated, the 70 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time includes recent mysteries and cover-ups that include the alien autopsy film controversy, the death of Vince Foster, Big Brother on the Internet and the sinister Japanese Aum cult.'

Format:Taschenbuch
Vieles ist unterhaltsam, aber wird ein bisschen zu sehr ausgewalzt. Und einige Kapitel sind aus europäischer Sicht schlichtweg uninteressant. Ein Buch um es in Häppchen zu lesen und sich zwischendrin immer mal wieder mit etwas anderem zu Erholen.

Whether you believe in conspiracies or not, this book is a great catalog of what some people do believe. This book reads like a collection of short articles on different conspiracy theories, with references for further reading about each. The chapters range from explanation of known hoaxes ("The Protocols Fraud") to accounts of obscure but documented history ("The White House Putsch"), with a lot of speculation in between. While the book emphasizes recent events over more distant history, and mundane political corruption over bizarre paranormal phenomena, it does cover a very wide spectrum. Most importantly, it presents a range of views where they exist, from commonly accepted ("official") versions to wild speculation, for the reader to evaluate and reach his or her own conclusions. Whether you're a true believer seeking confirmation, or a skeptic trying to debunk crazy ideas, this book is a useful resource.

By writing this I'll probably now have a file opened in the CIA database. But hey, stuff 'em. This book is awesome. I dare you to read it and not then be skeptical about everything you see on the TV or read in newspapers (or should they be called "disinformationpapers"). Welcome to the New World Order people; Never has so much been owned, controlled, and covered up by so few.

Drivel...
The government has never conspired against it's people... UFO's....yeah, whatever.

poor book - poor research
The research done for this book is limited and it often uses sources of very questionable reliability. As a history teacher I would not recommend it.

Decent expanditure on "60 Greatest conspiracies of all time"

Perfect for Paranoid Cocktail Party Conversation
An ideal primer for those who don't have the time to read the vast volume of conspiracy literature. This book will not only introduce you to perennial conspiracy favorites... Lesen Sie weiter...

great, i found it to be interesting
Your book really was a very good one. Although I believe Oswald didn't kill Kennedy. I believe it was a government conspiracy.

Buy it, read it, believe it..before the government bans it!
If you're not a parnoid, insomniac already, you will be after reading this fascinating, entertaining book on conspiracies. Lesen Sie weiter...

BEST Conspiracy primer around....get it before it's banned!
I used to dismiss conspiracy people, but this book made me a believer. Written in an engaging-but not too serious-style, this book avoids the usual raving, poorly organized syntax... Lesen Sie weiter...

I dare you to read this book and not become paranoid!
I don't remember why I started reading this book, but I have spent the past year ingesting it in dainty, sanity-promoting bites. Funny? Certainly, in a bent and cynical way. Lesen Sie weiter...

This book was awful. If I could give 0 stars I would.
This book was one of the worst I have ever read. It just further justifies the public into believing everything in the world is a conspiracy. Lesen Sie weiter...
