{"product_id":"conspiracy-films-barna-william-donovan-9780786439010","title":"Conspiracy Films: A Tour of Dark Places in the American Conscious","description":"\u003cp\u003e For many years, conspiracy theories have been among the most popular story elements in Hollywood films. According to the \"conspiracy culture,\" Government, Big Business, the Church, even aliens--all of which, bundled together, comprise the ubiquitous \"Them\"--are concealing some of the biggest secrets in American and world history. From \u003ci\u003eThe Manchurian Candidate\u003c\/i\u003e (1962) to \u003ci\u003eJFK\u003c\/i\u003e (1991), \u003ci\u003eThe Matrix\u003c\/i\u003e (1999) to \u003ci\u003eThe Da Vinci Code\u003c\/i\u003e (2006), this decade-by-decade history explores our fascination with paranoia. The work paints a vivid picture of several of the more prevalent conspiracy theories and the entertainment they have inspired, not only in theatrical films but also in such television series as \u003ci\u003eThe X-Files\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLost\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eV\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barna William Donovan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786439017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786439010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.04h x 7.02w x 0.67d","brand":"Barna William Donovan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947141234943,"sku":"9780786439010","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_453eab4b-acdb-407c-906a-70f12e5d43ef.jpg?v=1681516962","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conspiracy-films-barna-william-donovan-9780786439010","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
