Krátky popis
Taking readers on a global journey through human history, Natasha
Tidd examines how lies can change the world around us, from Julius
Caesars deceptive PR machine to the cover-ups that caused
Chernobyl.From forgeries that created centuries worth of conflict
and domination, such as The Donation of Constantine, the Protocols
of Zion and the mysterious Testament of Peter the Great, to mass
political and press cover-ups including Britains Boer War
concentration camps, a Pulitzer Prize-winning whitewash of the
Ukraine Famine and the infamous Dreyfus Affair in France.Alongside
these are examinations of how our retellings of history can turn
fiction into fact, including The Spanish Inquisitions deceitful
legacy. Plus, there is an in-depth look at how historic lies can
still impact our lives today, such as the deadly legacy of Americas
Tuskegee Experiment.Meet incredible people, including Jeanne de
Clisson who became the fourteenth centurys most feared pirate all
because of a lie.A Short History of the World in 50 Lies details
the profound impact of this secretive side of history and shows
that the truth really is stranger and far more dangerous than any
fiction.
