„The 50 Biggest Lies and Legends in World History“ 

World history is full of lies and legends. This book is a must for all those who would rather not embarrass themselves.

Where was Atlantis? Was there ever a real Robin Hood? Who really discovered America? The history of the world is full of places, people and events which seem familiar to us but about which we know little or nothing.

Whether due to sensationalism, political calculation or pure slander, whether accidentally or on purpose - historical falsities are amazingly persistent even if they have been disproved long ago.

Bernd Ingmar Gutberlet briefly and succinctly describes the 50 most important, dazzling and astounding legends, falsities and conspiracy theories in world history which stubbornly live on in public opinion - from the story of the Biblical Flood to the landing on the moon.

The book is not only about knowledge as such but rather about understanding how deceptions arise and the extent to which they can influence world history.

A broad collection of historical knowledge which is more fun than any history lesson in school ever was.
