Description
A myth-busting journey through the twilight world of fringe ideas and alternative facts.
Is a secret and corrupt Illuminati conspiring to control world affairs and bring about a New World Order? Was Donald Trump a victim of massive voter fraud? Is Elizabeth II a shapeshifting reptilian alien? Who is doing all this plotting?
In Hope and Fear, Ronald H. Fritze explores the fringe ideas and conspiracy theories people have turned to in order to make sense of the world around them, from myths about the Knights Templar and the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, to Nazis and the occult, the Protocols of Zion and UFOs. As Fritze reveals, when conspiracy theories, myths, and pseudo-history dominate a society's thinking, facts, reality, and truth fall by the wayside.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Hope and Fear by Ronald H. Fritze explores the enduring appeal of pseudo-history and conspiracy theories, linking them to a spectrum of beliefs from supernatural cults to modern conspiracy movements. The book is praised for its detailed analysis of why such narratives captivate audiences and is seen as a valuable resource for understanding the impact of these ideas on society. It is recommended for both academic study and general readers intrigued by the intersection of fact and fiction.
