Shenkman, Richard Legends, Lies and Cherished Myths of World History
New York, New York, U.S.A. HarperPerennal 1994 0060922559 / 9780060922559 Trade Paperback Near-Fine McKeon, George J
Near-fine condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Covers are clean (NO tears). NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 301 pages. Pages show light tanning. Synopsis Bestselling author of Legends, Lies & Cherished Myths of American History now takes on the world! Skewering the nonsense we were all taught about the world's revolutions, religions, heroes, and inventors, Legends, Lies & Cherished Myths of World History is a whirlwind tour of history from the Trojan War to World War II. Eclectic and fun, Richard Shenkman's well-documented revelations prove that muck of history is indeed "but a fable agreed upon." * Queen Victoria may have usually worn black, but she loved to drink and party. * During World War II the English were conned into believing it was Winston Churchill who broadcast the speech about this being their finest hour. But it wasn't Churchill, it was Norman Shelley, a radio actor hired as a stand-in. * Marie Antoinette did not say, "Let them eat cake," Churchill didn't coin the phrase "the Iron Curtain," and Caesar never said, "Et tu, Brute?" * Scandal in the English monarchy is nothing new: Fifteen kings fathered children out of wedlock. One queen helped depose her husband so her lover could take his place. Three English kings were gay. Biography Richard Shenkman is the New York Times bestselling author of five history books, including Legends, Lies & Cherished Myths of American History, "I Love Paul Revere, Whether He Rode or Not," and One-Night Stands with American History, which he co-authored. Educated at Vassar and Harvard, he is an Emmy Award-winning investigator reporter and the former managing editor of the news department at the CBS-TV affiliate in Seattle. Most recently he was the host, writer, and producer of a prime-time series on the Learning Channel and before that was a regular contributor to the NBC Sunday Today show.
