Taking ten of the greatest lies from history, the author gives us an entertaining look at how so much of what we have always believed to be true is simply wrong. From grand narratives dreamt up in cabinet rooms and wars that never really happened, to lies spun by the media and powerful figures rewriting their own lives - fake history is everywhere and powerfully impacts our world today.

In this fascinating book, journalist and author Otto English deconstructs ten great lies from history.
He shows how our present continues to be manipulated by the fabrications of the past. By the end the reader realises that how so much of what we take to be historical fact is, in fact, fiction.
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.
