Product Description
Product Description
Brace yourself for the strangest, most convincing and bizarre conspiracy theories you will ever read with "Conspiracy Files". Handily arranged into themed chapters (from Extraterrestrials to Celebrities via Technology and Politics), it's the result of meticulous research into the frontiers of paranoia, secrecy, intrigue and outlandishness from around the globe. To help you keep track of all the terrifying organisations that may or may not rule the world from their hidden offices and secret bunkers, you'll also find a complete guide to the groups that are most commonly blamed for all the world's ills, from NATO and the NSA to the Illuminati, along with an authoritative glossary of conspiracy-speak. From strange stories concerning tragedies such as 9/11 and SARS, to dark machinations surrounding the deaths of cultural icons such as JFK, Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana, you will be both entertained and worried - as all the conspiracies are based around solid facts!

Format:Paperback
Great book, seems to disect the subject very well, I am not agreat fan of conspiracy titles, and sometimes laugh in the face of conspiracy theorists. It cannotbe denied it is a 20th century phenomenon. This title served to cure my curiousity. Comes up with some interesting slants on some old theories and also a good amount of twists on some of the new ones too. well researched, everything sourced. good.

David Southwell is a name that has become one to watch in the field of alternative history, thinking outside the box and Conspiracies.
This one of his earlier works is a perfect place for those who want to get a taste of both his amazing abilities to both shed new light on many already well known subjects and also get a flavour of his superb sense of humour.
Teaming up with Canadian Writer Sean Twist, the authors break down some of the best and infamous conspiracy theories into sections that will make you look at them with a fresh perspective. Offering many hither to unknown facts on Marilyn Monroe, The Kennedy Assassination, Microchips, Jack the Ripper and dozens of others, Southwell and Twist also give pause for though with their "Sceptically Speaking" section on all the Theories.
These are classic Southwell offering up such gems as "The King is dead. Get over it." On if Elvis is still alive. Written is such a concise yet humorous way even the true believers are likely to offer a chuckle at many of them.
Over all though the true purpose of this book believer or not, is to get you to think and question what you are told and this it does so very well.
So pull back the veil on the world you think you know and sit down and prepare to laugh, think and maybe learn a few things that will make you wonder things like why they really haven't found a cure for cancer yet...
