|title=Voodoo Histories: How Conspiracy Theory Has Shaped The World
|rating=4.5
|genre=Politics and Society
|summary=What shape is a conspiracy theory? Unusual question, I know, but I think on this evidence it is round. A conspiracy theory is lumpen, ragged, full of holes, and has a huge circular gap where the obvious and sensible has dropped through, leaving the believer or theorist with the implausible skeleton of what they choose to think instead. They certainly have a habit of coming round in circles - if I mentioned a heinous crime caused by a western leader that killed hundreds or more people, purely to get their way and get a war started, I could be referring to Roosevelt and Pearl Harbor, Maggie Thatcher and the General Belgrano, or Bush etc and 9/11.
