Taking readers on a global journey through human history, historian Natasha Tidd examines how lies can change the world around us, from Julius Caesar’s deceptive PR machine to the cover ups that caused Chernobyl.
"A timely approach to world history through bite-size chapters highlighting how the lies and propaganda of the past still impact the present day." —
School Library Journal
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 Britain’s Boer War concentration camps, a Pulitzer Prize winning whitewash of the Ukraine Famine and France’s infamous Dreyfus Affair.
Alongside these are examinations of how our
retellings
of history can
turn
fiction into fact
, including The Spanish Inquisition’s deceitful legacy and the demonization of Chinese Empress, Wu Zetian. Plus, an in-depth look at how historic lies can still impact our lives today, such as the
deadly legacy
of America’s Tuskegee Experiment.
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.
