Conspiracy theories and politics with Phil Tinline
Historian Phil Tinline will be in conversation with the audience, discussing how the United States ended up enmeshed in conspiracy theories, with many believing the country is run by an malignant ‘deep state’? Drawing on his acclaimed new book, Ghosts of Iron Mountain: The Hoax That Duped America and Its Sinister Legacy, this event explores the story of an extraordinary satirical spoof, the light it sheds on Americans’ vexed relationship with truth and power and the lessons for our wider political environment.
