by Nick Redfern

Overview

A guide to the hidden mysteries and secrets of the world from an established author and expert on conspiracies, the unexplained, and the paranormal!

History is written by the winners—and the powerful—but how much of it is fiction? And who is really in control today? From the dawn of civilization to the 21st century, from ancient aliens to the New World Order, Secret History: Conspiracies from Ancient Aliens to the New World Order examines, explores, and uncovers the hidden, overlooked, and buried history of civilization.

The book moves from biblical, Egyptian, Mayan, Greek, and early mysteries of antiquity to the clandestine doings of the Nazis and the Masons and assassination plots of the more recent past to the surveillance, monitoring, mind-control, and secret schemes of today. Researcher Nick Redfern investigates the stories, mythologies, lore behind incredible events and clandestine groups of yesterday and today. More than 60 entries dig deep into the manipulation of events by influential groups, including …

• Historical riddles—revealing, alien visitations, space gods, human–alien crossbreeding, and more.

Editorial Reviews

"Anyone who's concerned that history is written by the victors will gain much from Nick Redfern's book." — Nexus magazine

"There is so much information in one book. … 438 pages of mind blowing information that will have you looking at the world differently. … Secret History opens up your eyes and you will see the world we live in a new light, yes, it's time to be enlightened!" — unexplained-mysteries.com

"... this book covers the gambit of wild ideas and theories. In what promises to be an authoritative resource on amazing topics, the author provides credible research to back up each of the individual theories presented to the reader." — VOYA magazine

"60 events and “clandestine” groups ... articles are easy to read and understandable and are presented objectively with the author’s thoughts at the end. ... the author’s aim [is] to make the reader think ... For general readers with an interest in the “dark side” of world history." — Library Journal

From the Publisher

07/01/2015
Redfern's text is split into three sections: ancient aliens (covering Atlantis, for instance), conspiracies (e.g., Area 51), and New World Order (e.g., 9/11). Having the 60 events and "clandestine" groups in chronological order makes topics easier to find rather than having to page around for information. The articles are easy to read and understand and are presented objectively with the author's thoughts at the end. Four history themes run through the title: how it has been lost, why people accept it without question, how easily it can be erased, and reasons why it is suppressed and by whom. Some readers may be unhappy with the book because they find it disturbing, or it challenges their way of thinking (Moses speaking to extra-terrestrials rather than talking to God), but this is exactly the author's aim; to make the reader think. The index is average, and the bibliography, while thorough, is heavy on websites, meaning the listings could go out of date quickly. VERDICT For general readers with an interest in the "dark side" of world history.—Beth Bland, Milwaukee
