Publisher Marketing: A New York Times bestseller, Mark Booth's The Secret History of the World is "an entire library's worth of scholarship [in] a single volume" (San Francisco Gate).
"Authentically mind-boggling." --Kirkus Reviews They say that history is written by the victors. But what if history--or what we have come to know as history--has been written by the wrong people? What if everything we've been told is only part of the story? In this groundbreaking and now-famous work, Mark Booth embarks on an enthralling tour of our world's secret histories. Starting from a dangerous premise--that everything we've known about our world's past is corrupted, and that the stories put forward by the various cults and mystery schools throughout history are true--Booth produces nothing short of an alternate history of the past 3,000 years. Topics include:- Greek and Egyptian mythology
- Jewish folklore
- Christian
- Freemasons
- Charlemagne
- Don Quixote
- George Washington
- Adolph Hitler
- And more!
