This is less of a book and more of a reference encyclopedia on Conspiracy Theories and Secret Societies. He covers a few of the groups, the popular ones like the Council on Foreign Relations or the Freemasons, in much more detail than others, but there's a lot of information in here and it's not really easy to read it cover-to-cover.
Many of the entries provide URLs for websites where more information can be found; I'm a little on the fence about this idea. I mean, I think it's a nice touch to have these links, but link rot will means that most of them will be bad within a few years, while the book will sit on a shelf for maybe twenty or thirty in most cases.
