Overview
Una breve historia del mundo en 50 mentiras muestra que la verdad es realmente mucho mĆ”s extraƱaĀ -y mucho mĆ”s peligrosa- que cualquier ficciĆ³n.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Taking readers on a global journey through human history, historian Natasha Tidd examines how lies can change the world around us, from Julius Caesarās deceptive PR machine to the cover ups that caused Chernobyl.Ā
FromĀ forgeriesĀ 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 massĀ politicalĀ andĀ press cover upsĀ including Britainās Boer War concentration camps, a Pulitzer Prize winning whitewash of the Ukraine Famine and Franceās infamous Dreyfus Affair.Ā
Alongside these are examinations of how ourĀ retellingsĀ of history canĀ turnfiction into fact, including The Spanish Inquisitionās 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 theĀ deadly legacyĀ of Americaās Tuskegee Experiment.Ā
A Short History of the World in 50 LiesĀ details the profound impact of this secretive side of history and shows that the truth really is stranger ā and far more dangerous ā than any fiction.
