| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This book provides extensive information about some notable conspiracy theories from the 1800s to the 1960s. A conspiracy theory is a term that was originally a neutral descriptor for any claim of civil, criminal, or political conspiracy. They are viewed with skepticism by scholars because they are rarely supported by any conclusive evidence and are in contrast with institutional analysis. Discussed inside are some incidents including Operation Ajax, the Lavon Affair, Operation Northwoods, and much more. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
