Conspiracies and secret societies [electronic resource] : the complete dossier / Brad Steiger and Sherry Steiger

This compelling encyclopaedic reference includes hundreds of individuals, organisations, and events where official claims and standard explanations of actions and events remain shrouded in mystery. It examines the most common subjects among conspiracy theorists, from historical topics such as the true relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, the Roswell UFO crash, and the assassinations of John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr to more current issues such as the death of Princess Diana, FEMA's response following hurricane Katrina, and the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan. With photographs and illustrations, a list of resources for further investigation, and a comprehensive index for thorough cross-checking, this dossier debunks popular myths and presents the evidence on an invisible world of influence and power. Separating fact from fiction, this reference provides gripping details and presents the information without bias and, updated and expanded, includes information on nearly 40 new subjects.
