Jan Bondeson, M.D., focuses his medical expertise and insightful
wit on the great unsolved mysteries of disputed identity of the
last two hundred years. Did the son of Louis XVI and Marie
Antoinette really die in the Temple Tower, or did the Lost Dauphin
reappear among the throngs of pretenders to the throne? And what
does DNA testing reveal about the Dauphin's mummified heart? Who
was Kaspar Hauser: an abused child, the crown prince of Baden, or a
pathological liar? In this highly entertaining work covering the
most famous cases of disputed identity, Jan Bondeson uncovers all
the evidence, then applies his medical knowledge and logical
thinking to ascertain the true stories behind these fascinating
histories. "Bondeson examines hitherto neglected documents and adds
his valuable medical knowledge....Entertaining studies of classic
imposters and a public inclined to be gullible even before the age
of TV." Kirkus Reviews"
