Book Reviews of The Unseen Hand: An Introduction to the Conspiratorial View of History
Book Review: This information was not in my high school history books
Summary: 5 Stars
The Unseen Hand is my fourth conspiracy book to have read. The first, The Leipzeig Connection by Palo Lionni was a well written and detailed look at when, who and why German psychology was imported, cleverly inserted into the existing education system and came to be what we now know as the American Public Education system. The second book was, None Dare Call it Conspiracy written by Gary Allen. In this book the author follows the money and exactly who those people are that really pull the political and socio-economic strings on this planet. Mr. Allen also spends quite a bit of time closely examining the membership and agenda of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The third book, The Gods of Eden, by William Bramley begins, surprisingly enough, in the Garden of Eden and comes forward from there. Mr. Bramely presents a convincing and plausible point of view supported by a preponderance of references regarding off-world influences in the persistent condition of chaos on planet earth. All four of these books are, in my opinion, well worth the read but it is The Unseen Hand out of the four that I would first recommend to anyone expressing even an inkling of interest or curiosity in what has been going on behind the scenes on the political and social fronts of the world. The author gives a general and concise overview, including numerous specifics of historical events and figures, from the 1700's up into 1985 when the book was published.
Ralph Epperson is an author who is quite adept at arranging his information, which includes many recorded quotes from numerous historical figures, some of which who are commonly known and others that I knew nothing of, into a reader friendly format. Part of what makes the book reader friendly is the use of a vocabulary that isn't constantly driving the reader to the dictionary to translate what is being communicated.
If you have ever looked up a map for a specific location on the Internet you would be familiar with how the map appears on your screen. When the map comes up you are looking at the location of the address requested from a certain viewpoint of distance and you can change this viewpoint with a graduated zoom-in zoom-out tool bar. Well, reading The Unseen Hand is very much like looking at one of these Internet maps. You begin this journey through history zoomed in at close range with the author giving you an orientation to his point of view. He is also smart enough to take the time in the first seven chapters to include a refresher course of sorts on the definitions, philosophy and applied philosophy of the various forms of government and basic economic systems with ample examples to ensure duplication between reader and author. I not only appreciated this approach from the author but found it to be very helpful. I also discovered that I had misunderstood concepts on more than a few of these terms and these misunderstandings would have most certainly inhibited my understanding of what was coming.
One item of particular interest to me was introduced and examined in chapter three. Chapter three addresses the different forms of government and here is where the author first introduces the reader to Jan Kozak and a book he published in 1957 wherein he delineated a five part program for seizing control of a government. I found that when taking this five part program of Kozak's and holding it up against recent and present events beginning with the 911 tragedy certain events are greatly clarified as to their possible actual intention and purpose.
After chapter seven Mr. Epperson clicks the zoom-out and our point of view is instantly changed to a removed wide point of view where we can see locations, events, people and time stretched out linear before us. From here the author proceeds to repetitively zoom in and out of this historical time line looking and eavesdropping on those who have originated their plans while behind the closed doors, thick curtains and in secret meetings that set the stage for what was to come (we're living in and with the results). Now, buckle up, this is one incredible journey to take.
On one hand, without any doubts or reservations, I would and do encourage anyone to read The Unseen Hand with the hopes and intention that they would be at least evoked if not provoked by the information and that at the end of this particular journey through history that they would have more interest and more questions about the political and socio-economic aspects of this game board of life than ever before. On the other hand, though, I have two caveats and these caveats are general in that I would give them in regards to any subject. The first: Don't be lazy. Don't allow the author to be the one who evaluates this data for you. Of course, he expresses his opinions and evaluations throughout but there is no reason that you must accept or agree with his views or his assembled data. Don't be afraid to look for yourself, think for yourself and decide for yourself. Also, don't be afraid to reject data, change your mind or stand firm with your existing opinions and views. I emphasis this because most of us have had the "privilege" of attending an enforced 12 year authoritative training program called public education wherein we were carefully schooled to accept data without question. Mostly we were just fed data that had been preevaluated and were expected to make precise recordings of it. To the degree that we could play the data back as fed in would determine our grade and perceived "intelligence". Learning to observe, compare and evaluate for ourselves was never part of the program, therefore the first caveat. The second caveat: beware and guarded toward anyone who tries to enforce their viewpoint onto you, insist that you agree or disagree as they do or attempts to discourage you in anyway from looking and deciding for yourself. This person is not a friend.

Summary of The Unseen Hand: An Introduction to the Conspiratorial View of History
It is the contention of the author that the major events of the past, the wars, the depressions and the revolutions, have been planned years in advance by an international conspiracy. This view is called the Conspiratorial View of History, and is definitely not the view held by the majority of historians today. The more traditonal view is called The Accidental View of History, and it holds that no one really knows why events happen--they just do.World Books
