The most compelling, most absurd, and most shocking conspiracy theories in one stunningly illustrated edition. 22 November, 1963: Dallas, Texas. US President John F. Kennedy is assassinated by disaffected Communist sympathizer Lee Harvey Oswald. Did Oswald have help, and if so, from whom? The Bilderberg Group: are they simply a group of international financiers concerned to promote democracy throughout the world or is there a more sinister power at work? What really happened to Diana, Princess of Wales's Mercedes in the Paris Underpass? Conspiracy theories arise out of the belief that mysterious forces are conspiring behind the scenes to control and manipulate an unsuspecting public. Conspiracies looks at a range of the most interesting theories of this nature, from the risibly far-fetched, such as the belief that the world is run by the lizard people to the only-too-true and tragic such as the overthrow and murder of Chilean President Salvador Allende. With photographs, images, and diagrams throughout, this book is the perfect introduction for anyone intrigued by the secret world of conspiracy theories.
