"Architects of Fear" is decent one, dealing with right-wing conspiracy
theories.  There are a lot of textbooks dealing with paranoia - turns out
that in one brand of paranoid schizophrenia, the patient feels that those
around him aren't real, and have been either replaced or (more recently)
cloned.
Seems to me that the main criteria for being the target of these kinds of
delusions is being (or appearing to be) secretive.  In my opinion, the CIA
isn't entirely undeserving of it's reputation.
It also explains, in part, the attacks on Catholics, Jews, Freemasonry, etc
- some people think if they have "weird" ceremonies and rituals, they must
be hiding something.  Not as deserving here.
Clinical paranoia was first diagnosed back around the French Revolution, I
think, around when the masons were involved in a bit of plotting (real and
imagined).  Then again, psychiatry isn't much older.
