From the myths of WW2 to the adventures of Columbus, and from the self-serving legends of 'great men' to the origins of curry - fake history is everywhere and used ever more to impact our modern world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSetting out to redress the balance, English tears apart the lies propagated by politicians and think tanks, the grand narratives spun by populists and the media, the stories on your friend's Facebook feed and the tales you were told in childhood. And, in doing so, reclaims the truth from those who have perverted it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFake History exposes everything you weren't told in school and why you weren't taught it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781787396425\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTen Great Lies and How They Shaped the World\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781787396425","offer_id":46955254546757,"sku":"9781787396425","price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/41b41827-f894-41cf-a6ea-d72ce3ab1a95.jpg?v=1781065849","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/fake-history-von-otto-english","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
