A big book of conspiracy files categorized and broken down by how likely and unlikely various theories on subjects can be. Ever wanted to know about the Bilderburg group and it's ties to international monetary trading? Ever wanted to find out about how likely the British royal family had a hand in princess Diana death? This the book for you

This book offers an eye-opening insight into the world of conspiracy theories. It not only opens one's eyes to an array of popular and plausible theories, but it opens one's eyes to how absolutely bizarre, strange, impossible some theories out there can be. This book is fantastic. I loved the often sarcastic tone applied to the utmost bizarre - The New World Order is, according to some die-hard conspiracy enthusiasts, responsible for almost everything in history - and the genuine respect offered to the well-researched and plausible theories documented in the book. Each case is well discussed, and broken up into sections like "most mysterious fact" and "the unusual suspects". This book is an entertaining and gripping read that just might change your view of a few of the world's most baffling events.

"Sometimes the official explanation is not only obvious but also correct."

I really enjoyed this book, it informs you of different murdered or missing, historical, places, politics, technology, celebrities, extra-terrestrails and tragedies files. It tells you how in some cases the government keeps information from the public and etc.. found very interesting..
