Don’t buy this book if you’re into conspiracy theories. It’s so biased is almost funny. Saying 9/11 wasn’t a conspiracy? Yeah right. This book is trash.

Good rundown of tons of conspiracy theories, but logic is inconsistently applied and generally too credulous. Also some weird diction like "pressurized" meaning "pressured." What's that all about? A lot of padding dropped instead of more actual researched detail and many of the entries are hardly more than a blurb. Some interesting reading, though, and not a bad starter kit for conspiracies.

Don't buy.
If the author was told officially that the moon was made of cheese, he would tell you that the moon was definitely made of cheese, no doubt about it, and then write a lengthy explanation of why this was so.
Absolutely lazy and inaccurate logic process. He goes to great lengths to make his points but his points always seem to follow an official line, no matter what. His logic is inauthentic.
Save your money.

Great book to gain knowledge from about government secrets and cover ups. Some of them I already knew about and a lot I didn't. Would recommend this book to anyone interested in going down the rabbit hole.

Really good book to read and learn about the conspiracies of the world. Very detailed information and well written for you to either believe the conspiracies, or form your own opinion about them.

I like this book as a starting point. I think everyone should read more. You should read books for and against a subject, books in the middle, and books on the periphery that mention the subject.. The author takes about 100 subjects discusses them and then gives them an alert level rating. He also gives you other books to read on the subject. Probably what I didn't like necessarily was his conclusions that led to his alert level rating. However, he brings out points that I didn't know. For instance former president George HW Bush was meeting with Shafi bin Laden, Osama's brother at the Ritz-Carlton hotel on the morning of 9/11.Tidbits, like that, I find interesting and useful to further pursue. Like I said, it's a good starting point for the reader.

Interesting but the author could of explained himself more
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 17, 2021Verified Purchase
OK so, this book is quite interesting for the most part, however, it seems as though the Author chooses which conspiracy theories to hammer home (sometimes for a dozen or so pages i.e. The Gemstone File chapter) whilst leaving other interesting theories explained in just 1-2 pages. The author basically gives you his final thoughts on each conspiracy theory and a "alert" rating. I was disappointed at how he was quick to debunk Bob Lazar and David Icke when all he does is basically throw his thoughts down on the page (with the occasional quote sometimes) and, doesn't seem to back up his final analysis with any real findings of his own. I was surprised with his thoughts on the Princess Diana conspiracy theory too. Id recommend this book but I would also advise anyone to read up on each subject via independently dedicated books or research papers before coming to a conclusion on the subject. Final thoughts: decent for an overview although, the author could explain his conclusions in greater detail. Alert rating: 4

The Mammoth Book Of Debunking
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 1, 2017Verified Purchase
Not only is each 'conspiracy' given 1/2 pages MAX before its on to the next one, the title is misleading, because in reality its a mammoth book of debunking, no investigation or even an in depth look at each case. Its literally a page or two for each 'conspiracy' and every single one ends in 'debunking' - This book is going in the recycling trash can. Don't waste your money.

Conspiracy theorist dream but realistically most of it is fiction
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 13, 2019Verified Purchase
I gave it a 4 star for the price it's a good read but in reality most of the conspiracy theories really have no bearing on reality but if you like that type of stuff it's a book for you.
I couldn't understand the alert level if 1 was high or 9 was low or vice versa but it was a good read kept me busy.

The Mammoth Book of Cover-Ups
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2013Verified Purchase
I found that I have always had some interest in conspiracy theory, not as a believer but out of interest and potential. The book speeds over some conspiracies yet other are covered in great detail. It allocates a level of threat or potential to each case and in some cases put up some good pros and cons in a short succinct direct manner and recommends further reading if something flips your switch. An interest but not a thrilling book that captivated me. true believers in conspiracy would probably find this more interesting than I did.

a bit disappointed with the "alert" ratings, appears to dismiss a lot of theories that could merit further investigation, bit short on Diana I don't think that it can be wrapped up so neatly ,
