Guardian Bookshop Notes:

New title from the journalist and commentator, subtitled "The Role Of The Conspiracy Theory In Shaping Modern History".

Publisher's description:

Our age is obsessed by the idea of conspiracy. We see it everywhere - from Pearl Harbour to 9/11, from the assassination of Kennedy to the death of Diana. This book probes a dozen of the major conspiracy theories. It looks at why people believe them, and argues for a true scepticism: one based on a knowledge of history and a common sense.
