Taking readers on a global journey through human history, Natasha Tidd examines how lies can change the world around us, from Julius Caesar's deceptive PR machine to the cover-ups that caused Chernobyl. From forgeries that created centuries worth of conflict and domination, to mass political and press cover-ups. A Short History of the World in 50 Lies details the profound impact of this secretive side of history. Shows that the truth really is stranger - and far more dangerous - than any fiction.
