"Enemies Within is an extraordinarily well-written and carefully analysed study of alleged conspiracies in our midst since the end of World War II. I have never read a book about conspiracies that is as thoughtful or as balanced as this one." Leonard Dinnerstein, University of Arizona "Delusion and paranoia are usually the domain of psychiatrists, but historian Robert Goldberg brilliantly analyses these creative disorders in the richly textured Enemies Within. He explores the popular origins of conspiracy theories from the Puritans to Watergate with intellectual verve and insight. A truly important new book." Douglas Brinkley, director, Eisenhower Center for American Studies "From esoteric theologies through political scandals to blockbuster movies, Goldberg skillfully guides us through the foremost conspiracy theories in contemporary America." Leo P. Ribuffo, George Washington University
