A Short History of the World in 50 Lies traces forgeries that created centuries’ worth of conflict and domination, such as The Donation of Constantine, a forged papal document that went on to spark the start of the European Reformation. Also uncovered are mass political and media coverups, including the infamous Dreyfus Affair in France that explores wrongful accusations, antisemitism and Devil’s Island.
Alongside these are examinations of how our retellings of history can turn fiction into fact, including the Spanish Inquisition’s deceitful legacy. Plus, there is an indepth look at how historic lies can still impact our lives today, such as the deadly legacy of America’s Tuskegee Experiment.
Meet incredible people, including Jeanne de Clisson who became the fourteenth century’s most feared pirate – all because of a lie.
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.
