This book is fantastic! There is so much going on inside this book, you almost need to chart it, and maybe you should if you have an interest in these subjects. Sure many things seem untenable as they don't fit into our little world concept of should be's, but the unimaginable is only a limit for those who cannot openly think.
Although we all have a right to our opinions, I wish more people would research and connect ideas, thoughts and facts rather than espouse what they have been told or not researched themselves.

Nothing more than paranoid conspiracy theorist ramblings. Poorly written, providing no verifiable supporting evidence. If this vast conspiracy reached so far and resulted in the "accidental deaths" of so many people who knew too much, then how exactly was Al Martin able to write and publish this book without ending up in a shallow grave next to Jimmy Hoffa?

This book is a sensationalized report of the Iran-contra affairs. Its author seeks to shock the reader of the government's misconduct. There is very little historical, methodical, or academic virtue to this book. It's for sheer shock and awe, which can easily be taken from serious book like Theodor Draper's A Very Thin Line.

The Conspirators by Al Martin was ranked #1 by myself in my Lone Nutter News e-zine. I have reviewed dozens and dozens of conspiracy books over the years and this one tops the list for the obvious reason that Al Martin has the courage to name the names behind some of the most corrupt cabals imaginable. Disgusting yet a MUST READ for any one who cares about democracy, our constitutional rights not to mention human dignity as well.

Read it for yourself to discover why I ranked it NUMBER ONE!

Written by a retired US Navy Lt. commander and former officer in the Office of Naval Intelligence, The Conspirators: Secrets Of An Iran-Contra Insider is the gripping true narrative of a white-collar crime system's involvement in the U.S. Government. Exposing fraud, corruption, government-sanctioned narcotics trafficking, illegal weapons deals, and much more, The Conspirators does not hesitate to name its accused in its cry for justice. A shocking expose written by an insider to government misdeeds and wrongdoing.

Over the past 20 years, I have amassed hundreds of publications about government crime. (Enough to understand that "isolated incidents" are not.) Al Martin's book focuses on the last two decades of governmental abuses, and it is an unparalleled treasure trove of names, dates and deeds. Every other page was a "what, this guy too?" discovery.

I had to read this publication twice. First just to get a general grasp, the second time to enter all the names into my computer. Now, the next time some White House honcho spouts off again about law, order and patriotism, I can look up with a mouse click what murder/plunder/treason he did to get that post. (The DIY solution to "fair and balanced" news.)

The main revelation of the book is not that every recent Presidential administration is a criminal gang; that's pretty much common wisdom since the Taft administration. It is that Iran-Contra is not over. The activity never stopped to this very day, only the scandal faded away. The book contains other important discoveries too, and it would be worth buying even just to play criminal bingo - who finds more current administration names in the crime accounts. As of 2004, this is the who's who reference of government criminality.

Once you read it, there are some places on the net, like Hawaii Observer, or From The Wilderness which fit Martin's information into the greater picture. To fully master that level, though, you need read this book first.
