SHORT HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN 50 LIES (HB)

Taking readers on a global journey through human history, this book examines how lies have changed the world, from Julius Caesar's PR machine to the cover-ups that caused Chernobyl. Along with subjects such as the Donation of Constantine, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the mysterious Testament of Peter the Great, Walter Duranty’s Pulitzer Prize-winning account of the Ukraine Famine and the infamous Dreyfus Affair, are examinations of how retellings of history can turn fiction into fact, and how historic lies still affect our lives today.
