I Read It So You Don't Have To

I have an interest in the subject of past Southern Africa, So I read The Battle For Rhodesia by Douglas Reed. published in 1967. You can get this through Amazon, but if you are wise and really want it, go to archive.org and get it for nothing. The first half of the book is calm, laying out Rhodesia's case. But in the second half, he babbles about Illuminati, WAPWAG, and a sinister Communist, liberal, One World Government, Rockefeller, Carnegie Foundation, American, British, United Nations conspiracy against poor little Rhodesia. That nonsense brings the first half of the book into doubt, and proclaims Reed to be a kook. In the afterword, he engages in an imbecile conspiracy theory involving Edward Stanton and practically the entire Republican party in the Lincoln Assassination.

He doesn't involve the Jews in these conspiracy, but I'm told he was a believer in the International Jewish conspiracy.

Now you don't have to waste your time on the book.
