Real enemies; conspiracy theories and American democracy
Kathryn S. Olmsted

Conspiracy theories and American democracy, World War I to 9/11.

This book is a study of paranoia in American politics and links the explosion of conspiracy theories about and from within the U.S. government in recent years to the revelations of real government conspiracies. It traces anti-government theories from the birth of the modern state in World War I to the current war on terror. Provocative and informative.
