Historian Richard J. Evans explores this new golden age of conspiracy theories and what underlies it by focusing on five of the most enduring conspiracies theories of the Nazi period, including those that fueled Hitler's rise in the first place.
What The Reviewers Say
This is a wonderful book that’s both hard to put down and brilliantly insightful in its analysis of the ways in which conspiracy theories and so-called 'alternative facts' are constructed and justified - and why they’re such nonsense.
In the days when crowds still thronged airport bookshops, any work entitled The Hitler Conspiracies would surely leap off the shelves. This one ought to flourish in our more immobile times – not least because it unpicks twisted ways of thinking that stretch far beyond the legacy of the Third Reich and its leader.
... seems long overdue.
... compelling.
