Background
Goldwag first became interested in sweeping, all-encompassing intellectual and belief-based narratives while performing research for his book, Isms and Ologies: All the Movements, Ideologies and Doctrines That Have Shaped Our World (2007). That book was followed by Cults, Conspiracies, and Secret Societies (2009). He is influenced by the style and work of historian Richard Hofstadter.
Synopsis
Goldwag covers conspiracy theories espoused by various groups and traces their shared historical precedents. Theorists covered in the book include the birthers, the Birchers, and conservative talk radio hosts and politicians.
