Deep State: A History of Secret Agendas and Shadow Governments

Who controls our lives? What secrets do governments hide? Are we manipulated by a ‘deep state’? Nothing is as it seems. When democratic governments are elected, why don’t they change much? Whoever we vote for, vested interests prevail. Over time, special interest groups have formed ‘states within a state’ to advance their private agendas. Unaccountable and powerful, these ‘deep states’ have changed history.

In this book, author Ian Fitzgerald reveals the origins and methods of the clandestine state. Starting with ancient Greece and Rome, he takes readers on a journey around the world, from drug traffickers to power brokers, to show how the system works. Revealing and informative, this book provides an essential introduction to the sinister powers that rule the world.
