Detailed item info

Synopsis
British journalist David Aaronovitch takes all the fun out of everyone's favorite conspiracy theories, as he presents convincing evidence that Oswald shot Kennedy, Princess Diana died in an accidental car crash, Marilyn Monroe's death was an ordinary overdose, and the NASA astronauts actually were walking on the moon. Aaronovitch is particularly adept at skewering the outlandish attempts to accuse the Bush administration of precipitating the 9/11 attacks, as he ponders how the same people who were adept enough to coordinate such a massive cover-up failed to plant a few weapons of mass destruction to justify their invasion of Iraq. After persuasively debunking these and many more myths of modern history, Aaronovitch launches a compelling theory of his own about why people are so fascinated by these paranoid presumptions and how Hollywood, the media, and the Internet play an integral role in actively propagating them.

Publisher's Note
A history so funny, so true, so scary, it's bound to be called a conspiracy.

"Meticulous in its research, forensic in its reasoning, robust in its argument, and often hilarious in its debunking, Voodoo Histories is a highly entertaining rumble with the century's major conspiracy theorists and their theories" (John Lahr). From Pearl Harbor to 9/11 to the assassination of JFK to the Birthers, Aaronvitch probes and explores the major conspiracy theories (and theorists) of our time. In doing so, he examines why people believe these conspiracies and makes an argument for a true skepticism.

Industry Reviews
"Have you ever been at a social occasion where out of the blue an otherwise normal-sounding...[person] drops into the conversation a completely absurd conspiracy theory in a voice as if it were obviously true?...If so, this is definitely the book for you....This superbly researched, wittily written and eminently sane book explodes conspiracy theories by the dozen, and highlights the psychological disorders from which their promoters often suffer. Best of all, however, it points out how dangerous conspiracy theories can be to society."
(05/01/2009)

"Aaronovitch starts each analysis by laying out a theory and discussing how it came about, some of its major advocates, and the seemingly reasonable people who bought it. He then meticulously breaks it down, showing the fantastical leaps of logic necessary, and often discrediting the players involved in lending the ideas authority in the first place."
(03/11/2010)

"In his lively...book...David Aaronovitch uses Occam's razor to eviscerate the many conspiracy theories that have percolated through politics and popular culture over the last century....[He] deconstructs a dizzying array of conspiracy theories in these pages with unsparing logic, common sense and at times exasperated wit."
(02/16/2010)

"Aaronovitch's impressive skill in....historical knowledge, education and explanation....distinguishes his book, which debunks conspiracy theories, from those that promulgate them. However, even the most sceptical of readers will experience a strange sense of perverse enjoyment as they are drawn into a spider's web of tales that Aaronovitch narrates only to knock down."
