Beneath the outward appearance of legitimate government and accountable officials there lurk hidden agendas, shadowy personalities and special interest groups seeking to seize control of the nation for their own ends. These 'states within a state', unfettered by legal norms and unworried by public opinion, are known as 'deep states'.
In this fascinating account, Ian Fitzgerald examines what a deep state really is and how they have emerged in various places across the world and throughout history.

Looks at deep state conspiracies around the world, including: - the narco-states of Colombia and Mexico - where legitimate institutions have been corrupted by the power and wealth of the illegal drug trade - the illicit tax haven of Panama and the 2016 Panama Papers, history's biggest data leak - the United Fruit Company's involvement in the 1954 coup d' tat in Guatemala - the robber barons of the late 19th- and early 20th- century America - the role of intelligence services such as the CIA, FBI and NSA in the US deep state, at home and abroad - the extent to which social media sites such as Facebook influence voters
