Fake History: Ten Great Lies and How They Shaped the World by Otto English

A fun, authoritative and alternative history of the world that exposes some of the biggest lies ever told and how they?ve been used over time. \n\nLincoln did not believe all men were created equal. \n\nThe Aztecs were not slaughtered by the Spanish Conquistadors. \n\nAnd Churchill was not the man that people love to remember. \n\nJournalist and author Otto English takes apart ten of the greatest lies from history and shows how our present continues to be twisted and manipulated by the fabrications of the past. \n\nMuch of what we assume to be true or are encouraged to believe to be true is simply wrong. Whether propagated by politicians and think tanks, populists or the media, the family tales of childhood or your Facebook friend?s feed ? fake history is everywhere and it impacts, ever more, on our modern world. \n\nThis book dismantles the lazy and pernicious tropes of the past as Otto English sets out to redress the balance and reclaim truth from those who seek to pervert it. \n\nFake History will expose everything you weren?t told in school and reveal why you weren?t taught it.
