This fascinating work contains 75 articles that give radically different views of historic events and famous people.
Examples: Exploding hydrogen did not destroy the Hindenburg. Another inventor beat Edison to the light bulb. Chinese sailors likely made it to America well ahead of the Vikings, and Lucrezia Borgia and Captain Bligh both have undeserved reputations for badness. Other subjects include Roman Gladiators, the Battle of Britain, Custer’s "last stand," witches of Salem, Shakespeare, and the Lusitania. Lavishly illustrated with photos, diagrams, maps, and drawings.
