Conspiracies and Cover Ups: What the Government Isn't Telling You : A Shocking New Study

Rating:
Summary: Scary Stuff But Sure Kept Me Turning The Pages
Review: Conspiracies and Coverups is one of the scariest books I've ever read. Frankly I find some of it too hard to believe, especially some of the darker revelations about alien beings made by the author... Listen, don't read this book if you get scared easily or are prone to having nightmares, because it really has some shocking parts that can start you looking over your shoulder and keep you awake at night.

Summary: Mediocre At Best, Drags Its Feet...So-So For the Beginner
Review: I am somewhat of a conspiracy moderate. I have been interested in the 'speculative' for some ten-odd years now, however it has come in spurts. A year here, six months there, a week here, two weeks there. In the past month, I have literally submerged myself into the world of conspiracy literature.

Truth be told, this is one of the poorest examples of how truly fascinating, interesting, and core-shaking conspiracy writing can be. Alexander gives very superficial introductions to about ten topics, ranging from American POWs to Weaponry and Alien Beings. This book contains very little real information; instead, it is a string-together of Alexander's own attempts to be witty and ranting diatribes about the plight of humanity.

It was a general struggle to get through this book. The writing is stiff and awkward, and essentially substanceless. Alexander tries to write about so many things that he winds up only touching on the surface of all of them. He writes vaguely and seems to leave out rather large pieces of information.

If you've never read anything even remotely related to conspiracy theory, then this would be a good book to test the proverbial waters with. However, truth be told, most people who are interested in conspiracy literature will already know most everything in this book and will find the writing style and slow pace quite boring.

Summary: This Book Speaks the Truth!
Review: I'm a Korean War veteran. The book had an interesting cover so I bought it to read on a weekend trip. I read the part about MIAs with tears in my eyes. This book said it straight. Thank the Good Lord somebody finally wrote the truth about MIAs. What was ritten in this book happened to some of the men who served with me. I know it for a fact. God bless the author of this book for writing it. I hope he makes a million bucks on it, 'cause it's worth a million. If I ever meet him I am going to shake his
hand and tell him what a service he's done for all us American war veterans, and I'm going to recommend this book to the many vets I personally know.

Summary: This Book Speaks the Truth!
Review: This book exemplifies the poorly researched conspiracy theorists it pretends to spoof. Written with a left-wing bias ("it's all the fault of those right-wing fascists"), the book makes a number of assertions without any indication of serious research. As an example, the author blithely associates Edison/General Electric with alternating current and Telsa/Westinghouse with direct current when quite the reverse is true. Within the same chapter, the author fails geography when he states Philadelphia and Norfolk are only 15 miles apart. (Those cities are about 210 miles apart when last I checked a map.) Indeed, the author is innocent of map-checking or other fact verification. I have to ask "Were the editors asleep when they published this book?"

In good conscience, I can't recommend this book to serious observers of the strange.
