HOW UFOs CONQUERED THE WORLD: The History of a Modern Myth by David Clarke (London): Aurum Press, (2015). First edition, first printing. Fine and tight in black linen with gilt embossed titles to the spine; in a fine dust jacket. "A history of the various manifestations and shifting meaning of the Twentieth Century's single great contribution to mythology: the UFO. Neither a credulous work of conspiracy theory nor a sceptical debunking of belief in 'flying saucers', How UFOs Conquered the World explores the origins of UFOs in the build-up to the First World War and how reports of them have changed in tandem with world events, science and culture. The book will also explore the overlaps between UFO belief and religion and superstition."--publisher. Octavo. 312 pages; Glossary, Notes and References, Bibliography, and Index. Illustrated section of photos and facsimiles (some in color). PLEASE VIEW OUR STORE FOR MORE GREAT FIRST EDITIONS THANKS! Created by Seller's Assistant Basic.
