About this ebook

22 November 1963: Dallas, Texas. US President John F Kennedy is assassinated as his motorcade passes through the city's streets. The assassin is soon captured, and revealed to be disaffected Communist sympathizer Lee Harvey Oswald. Did Oswald act alone, or did he have help? Is the Bilderberg Group simply a group of international financiers concerned with promoting democracy throughout the world, or is there a more sinister power at work? And what really happened to Princess Diana's Mercedes one warm August nigh in a Paris underpass?

Conspiracy looks at a range of the most interesting theories of this nature, from the risibly far-fetched, such as the belief that the world is run by the lizard people, to the only-too-true and tragic such as the overthrow and murder of Chilean President Salvador Allende.

Ratings and reviews

Not bad for a starter who's curious into the world of famous stories that don't add up. Some great stories and events but lacks depth and if you're really into a particular story you'll need to read more into it. Innacurrate at times for eg Biggie was shot 6months after Tupac instead of 2 years. The author gives her own opinion and wraps up a conclusion in a few short sentences which should not be taken too seriously. People will make their own conclusions only when obtaining a lot more researched info.

The book contains some good information, but it is certainly not written objectively. The author gives the impression that she disagrees with many of the theories.

This book tells you detail by detail, love it.
