Rezensionen

'Eirikur Bergmann provides a compelling account of how political leaders in Europe, the US and Russia have strategically used conspiracy theories to boost their populist appeal. Whereas much recent research on conspiracy theories tends to view them as merely a fringe phenomenon or an effect of viral media, this book shows how politicians from Trump to Orban to Putin have weaponised fears about the Deep State, immigration and Western interference to mobilise popular support and undermine democracy. Written in clear and concise prose, Weaponizing Conspiracy Theories offers readers a sure-footed guide to our current conspiracism.'
