Conspiracy

by Nigel Cawthorne

Are shadowy secret societies controlling the world? Did government plots kill JFK and John Lennon? Has secret alien technology been exploited without our knowledge? Weighing up the evidence, this volume analyses a range of conspiracies from The Protocols of the Elders of Zion which inflamed antisemitism at the beginning of the 20th century to the death of Princess Diana. (Previously sold in Postscript as Conspiracies, a more highly illustrated edition.)

He has written more than 80 books on a wide range of subjects and has contributed to The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph Daily Mail and The New York Times. He has appeared on television and BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

Many of Nigel Cawthorne's books are compilations of popular history, without footnotes, references or bibliographies. His own web site refers to a description of his home as a "book-writing factory" and says, "More than half my books were commissioned by publishers and packagers for a flat fee or for a for a reduced royalty".

One of his most notable works was Taking Back My Name, an autobiography of Ike Turner, with whom he spent a number of weeks working with him on, taking up residence in Turner's house. The book caused much controversy, resulting in court cases for three years following its release.

Reviews

[Jonathan · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very good book if you like reading about what happened and the conspiracy aspect/end of the spectrum. I read books to get opinions of things and not to get my point of view changed. It covers everything from the death of Princess Diana to the MKULTRA tests to everything inbetween.

Same conspiracies but some different twists.
