Sinister Forces: A Grimoire of American Political Witchcraft: 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition
Discover the book that inspired Tom DeLonge’s new sci-fi epic Time Rider, Peter Levenda’s Sinister Forces returns in a special Twentieth Anniversary Deluxe Edition, uniting all three chilling volumes in one collector’s release, exclusively from To The Stars.

In Sinister Forces, Levenda uncovers hidden threads of American history—from military experimentation to political assassination, occult ideology to psychological manipulation—and weaves them together to show how the United States has been shaped by dark, irrational, and often invisible, forces.

His work, the result of over twenty years of research across more than forty countries, explores the relationship of intelligence agencies with mysticism and mind control (e.g., the CIA’s MK-ULTRA program); dives into the dark networks behind political violence—from Nazi occultism to the ritualistic assassinations of transformational leaders (JFK, RFK, MLK, and Malcolm X); and reveals how cultural chaos, covert manipulation, and symbolic, ritualistic violence by the likes of the Manson family and the mysterious Nine, are used to reshape public consciousness. Levenda shows how themes of initiation, sacrifice, transformation, and concealment recur like ritual throughout American history.

He goes beyond official narratives and common conspiracies to confront the possibility that beneath the surface of history there lies a kind of symbolic logic, where trauma is ritualized, power is mythologized, and repetition becomes a form of control. Sinister Forces challenges readers to become more conscious—to think critically, investigate deeply, and reclaim our understanding of history from the shadows.

About the Author

Peter Levenda is a native of the Bronx, New York but has lived or traveled all over the United States and the world in the course of his life, work and research. As an executive with an American telecommunications manufacturer he was based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for more than seven years. Before that he was one of the first Americans to do business (successfully) in China. He has an MA in Religious Studies and Asian Studies from FIU, and speaks a variety of languages (some of them dead). He was briefly detained at the notorious Nazi sanctuary and interrogation center Colonia Dignidad in Chile, in 1979 during the course of research for Unholy Alliance. He has appeared in numerous television programs for the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, and TNT as an expert on Nazi Germany and especially on the extreme religious and esoteric ideas that formed the Nazi worldview. He has interviewed Nazis, neo-Nazis, Klansmen, occultists, CIA officers, and Islamic terrorists in the course of his research and has visited Chinese prisons and military bases; Buddhist temples; Muslim boarding schools in Indonesia; Russian Orthodox monasteries; mosques in Europe, the United States and Asia; the Palestine Liberation Organization; several voodoo hounforts; the former KGB headquarters (Dzherzinsky Square) in Moscow; has been held at gunpoint in Latin America, and celebrated with a state dinner in Beijing. At the age of seventeen he gate-crashed the funeral for assassinated Senator Robert F. Kennedy at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, and led the procession out of the cathedral. (He graduated high school later that month.) He was a member of the same front organization — a renegade Ukrainian church in the Bronx — that provided cover for David Ferrie and Jack Martin (suspected co-conspirators in the JFK assassination). In addition, he was an auxiliary police officer for the New York Police Department. His published work has been praised by Norman Mailer, Jim Hougan, Dick Russell, Whitley Strieber, Katherine Neville, and many others. He is or was a member of MENSA, of the American Academy of Religion, of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers, of the Norman Mailer Society, and the T. E. Lawrence Society.
