How a Culture of Conspiracy
Keeps America Complacent
They Knew
Order your copy
The truth may hurt—but the lies will kill us.
They Knew exposes the United States’ “culture of conspiracy.” As the actions of the powerful remain shrouded in mystery, it is unsurprising that people turn to conspiracy theories to fill the informational void. But tactics by powerful actors have been taken to placate the inquisitive public. They Knew unearths decades of buried American history, providing an essential and critical look at how to rebuild our democracy by confronting the political lies and crimes that have shaped us.
The pathos of truth-seeking left me thinking of Herman Melville. I can’t remember the last time I read a book where every sentence delivered.Timothy Snyder, New York Times bestselling author of On Tyranny
Deftly dissects the tangled truths behind the conspiracies that intertwine American and international politics, business, and criminality with a style reminiscent of Ronan Farrow’s Catch and Kill or Bob Woodward’s recent books . . . Kendzior’s compelling and urgent prose will speak to readers who are working to make sense of the current political and social landscapes.Booklist
