\n<\/p>\n

Taking readers on a global journey through human history, historian Natasha Tidd examines how lies can change the world around us, from Julius Caesar\u2019s deceptive PR machine to the cover ups that caused Chernobyl.<\/p>\n

“A timely approach to world history through bite-size chapters highlighting how the lies and propaganda of the past still impact the present day.” \u2014\u00a0School Library Journal<\/p>\n

From forgeries that created centuries worth of conflict and domination, such as The Donation of Constantine, the Protocols of Zion and the mysterious Testament of Peter the Great, to mass political and press cover ups including Britain\u2019s Boer War concentration camps, a Pulitzer Prize winning whitewash of the Ukraine Famine and France\u2019s infamous Dreyfus Affair.<\/p>\n

Alongside these are examinations of how our retellings of history can turnfiction into fact, including The Spanish Inquisition\u2019s deceitful legacy and the demonization of Chinese Empress, Wu Zetian. Plus, an in-depth look at how historic lies can still impact our lives today, such as the deadly legacy of America\u2019s Tuskegee Experiment.<\/p>\n

A Short History of the World in 50 Lies details the profound impact of this secretive side of history and shows that the truth really is stranger \u2013 and far more dangerous \u2013 than any fiction. <\/p>\n
