Whilst we're at it, I'd also recommend Robert Anton Wilson's "Everything is 
Under Control" for ideas on conspiracy.  Some of it's ludicrous, some of 
it's obviously fictional (he cites Anders Sandberg's Mage Page as one of 
his conspiracy references, forex), and he tends to give everything equal 
credibility (as he is generally wont to do), but nonetheless, it covers 
most major conspiracies quite well.

"'Kevin,' David interrupted, 'what the Germans should have done
was show the Russians a dead cat and ask them to explain it.'

"'That would have stopped the Soviet offensive right there,' I said.
"Zhukov would still be trying to account for the cat's death.'"
