Jesse Walker's The United States of Paranoia presents a
comprehensive history of conspiracy theories in American culture
and politics, from the colonial era to the War on Terror.
The fear of intrigue and subversion doesn't exist only on the
fringes of society, but has always been part of our national
identity. When such tales takes hold, Walker argues, they reflect
the anxieties and experiences of the people who believe them, even
if they say nothing true about the objects of the theories
themselves.With intensive research and a deadpan sense of humor,
Jesse Walker's The United States of Paranoia combines the rigor of
real history with the punch of pulp fiction.
This edition includes primary-source documentation in the form
of archival photographs, cartoons, and film stills selected by the
author.
