That's where Conspiracy Theories & Secret Societies For Dummies comes in. Whether you're a skeptic or a true believer, this fascinating guide, packed with the latest information, walks you through some of the most infamous conspiracy theories--such as Area 51 and the assassination of JFK--and introduces you to such mysterious organizations as the Freemasons, the Ninjas, the Mafia, and Rosicrucians.
