内容説明

As the first book on conspiracy theories in the Middle East, The Hidden Hand reveals such theories to play a powerful role in the political life of the region. Placing conspiracy theories in their historical context, the book shows how conspiracism has come to suffuse life in the Middle East, from private family life to the highest levels of politics. Concluding with speculations about the future of conspiracism, the analysis as a whole proves how conspiracism provides a key to understanding the political culture of the Middle East.

内容説明

This study of conspiracy theories in the Middle East reveals how they play a powerful role in the political life of the region. Placing conspiracy theories in their historical context, the author shows how the idea of the conspiracy has come to suffuse life in the Middle East, from the most private family conversations to the highest and most public levels of politics. Pipes then looks at conspiracies and their strength as a partial explanation for much of the region's problems, including its record of political extremism, its culture of violence, and its lack of modernization. Concluding with speculations about the future of conspiracy theories, Pipes provides a key to understanding the often complicated political culture of the Middle East.
