An Icon of Conspiracy R W Hershey

Abstracted from his book The Conspiracy Papers, R. W. Hershey's An Icon of Conspiracy presents a historical survey of conspiracy theories about the Great Seal of the United States. In the twenty-first century, the Great Seal is one of the world's most recognized symbols, but why has it become an icon of conspiracy? To answer this, R. W. Hershey looks back to the little-known individuals and esoteric groups that have interpreted the symbols of the seal through their unique worldviews, thus forming the foundation for the conspiracy theories of today. An Icon of Conspiracy is a thoroughly researched, academic work that presents some never-before published research and comes to surprising conclusions. This is a must-have for anyone who is interested in historical facts about the many conspiracy theories surrounding the mysterious Great Seal.
