| 520 | |a Did a collector with a knack for making sensational discoveries really find the first document ever printed in America? Did Adolf Hitler actually pen a revealing multivolume set of diaries? Has Jesus of Nazareth's burial cloth survived the ages? Can the shocking true account of Abraham Lincoln's assassination be found in lost pages from his murderer's diary? Napoleon famously observed that "history is a set of lies agreed upon," and, in this book, the author investigates six of the most amazing frauds that have gained widespread acceptance. Although all of the counterfeits and conspiracies featured in this book have been scientifically debunked, some are still widely perceived as truth. The author shows how the endurance of these frauds highlights a disturbing fact: if true history fails to entertain the public, it is more likely to be ignored or forgotten. | ||
