Subject: Thomas Milan Konda - Conspiracies of Conspiracies

The best overall survey and analysis of the history of conspiracy theories in the United States is the 2019 book by Dr. Thomas Milan Konda entitled "Conspiracies of Conspiracies". [University of Chicago Press, 2019, 432 pages]:

Konda has a staggering familiarity with the relevant history and his detailed bibliographic footnotes, alone, are worth the cost of his book
