I am not completely sure why, but I didn't have it within myself to give this book too many stars. I believe that Olmsted did provide a relatively objective view in relaying the plethora of conspiracies and conspiracy theories that have abound throughout the twentieth century. These theories often became interlinked or piggy-backed off of one another such as Wilson's role reversal on World War intervention, causing later skepticism over Pearl Harbor ineptitudes. WWII era political rifts led to the age of McCarthyism which birthed FBI wiretaps and government omnipotence- including using assassination as a tool of removing "threats". The people distrusted their government and the government reciprocated through the era of Watergate and up to age of the Patriot Act. Most information covered was nothing new. A few items featured in Real Enemies barely warranted mentioning in a book that otherwise maintains its composure dealing with its often daffy subject matter. While there is not a concentration on Roswell, the topic does earn a few mentions as it is applied to various more credible theories. Trying to apply aliens to disasters such as 9/11 warrant an eye rolling. Olmstead does not promote such thoughts, only mentions them in pointing out that a general distrust of the government provokes sometimes credible people to stretch to make sense of all of our government's secrets. In a conclusion that smacked of a final thought on Jerry Springer, the author sums up the sometimes unintended dangers of some of the more outlandish conspiracies held, while chastising government for violating the trust of its own people. By this time, I was beyond ready to move on to some different subject matter.
