For many intelligent people, the stuff of history does not consist
of the kind of dry-as-dust investigations of diplomatic, economic,
or political history that most university historians research and
write about, but the famous topics of historys mysteries- who was
Jack the Ripper? Was there a conspiracy to kill President Kennedy?
Did Richard III murder the Princes in the Tower? What are the
mysteries of the ancient Pyramids? Not only have a great many books
and articles been written on these and similar topics by so-called
amateur historians, but they have generated societies, conferences,
newsletters, and television programmes. Many people who are not
academic historians take a keen interest in these topics, and have
in some cases made themselves real experts on them, with
interesting theories of their own. Despite all of this, however,
these topics are virtually ignored by academic historians and can
be treated with contempt. In Shadow Pasts, William D. Rubinstein a
well-known and widely published history professor, examines seven
of the most famous and interesting topics which have been
discussed, debated, examined, and written about by amateur
historians. Each of these mysteries and the theories surrounding
them are examined in detail, with Professor Rubinstein presenting
his own original and sometimes surprising conclusions about what
really happened.
