Its tempting to think that we live in an unprecedentedly fertile age for conspiracy theories, with seemingly each churn of the news cycle bringing fresh manifestations of largescale paranoia. But the sad fact is that these narratives of suspicionand the delusional psychologies that fuel themhave been a constant presence in American life for nearly as long as theres been an America.In this sweeping book, Thomas Milan Konda traces the countrys obsession with conspiratorial thought from the early days of the republic to our own anxious moment. Conspiracies of Conspiracies details centuries of sinister speculationsfrom antisemitism and antiCatholicism to UFOs and reptilian humanoidsand their often incendiary outcomes. Rather than simply rehashing the surface eccentricities of such theories, Konda draws from his unprecedented assemblage of conspiratorial writing to crack open the mindsets that lead people toward these selfsealing worlds of denial. What is distinctively American about these theories, he argues, is not simply our countrys homegrown obsession with them but their ongoing prevalence and virulence. Konda proves that conspiracy theories are no harmless sideshow. They are instead the dark and secret heart of American political historyone that is poisoning the bloodstream of an increasingly sick body politic.
