'A brilliant and important book ... Five Stars!' Mark Dolan,
talkRADIO 'An important new book' Daily Express An alternative
history of the world that exposes some of the biggest lies ever
told and how they've been used over time. Lincoln did not believe
all men were created equal. The Aztecs were not slaughtered by the
Spanish Conquistadors. And Churchill was not the man that people
love to remember. In this fascinating new book, journalist and
author Otto English takes ten great lies from history and shows how
our present continues to be manipulated by the fabrications of the
past. He looks at how so much of what we take to be historical fact
is, in fact, fiction. From the myths of WW2 to the adventures of
Columbus, and from the self-serving legends of 'great men' to the
origins of curry - fake history is everywhere and used ever more to
impact our modern world. Setting out to redress the balance,
English tears apart the lies propagated by politicians and think
tanks, the grand narratives spun by populists and the media, the
stories on your friend's Facebook feed and the tales you were told
in childhood. And, in doing so, reclaims the truth from those who
have perverted it. Fake History exposes everything you weren't told
in school and why you weren't taught it.
