Great Secrets Of History: Gripping Stories Of Truth And Lies, Deception And Discovery by Reader's Digest Staff

Gripping stories of truth and lies, deception and discovery. Uncover the hidden facts! Many of history's best stories are best-kept secrets - scandals hushed up, treasure stashed, treason plotted, forgeries passed off as originals, bodies disposed of, cities lost. Here they are exposed for all to see. Hide out in the catacombs of ancient Rome with the first Christians as they shelter from their persecutors. Visit the Chicago hotel equipped with dungeons, hidden passages and trapdoors designed to murder its guests. Discover how Greenpeace's flagship was sabotaged by French Special forces. Review top-secret documents, once limited to heads of state and undercover agents. Taking in escape tunnels and hiding places, secret societies and spy rings, this book blows the lid on the shadowy world of the distant and not-so-distant past that lies buried but not forgotten. This 2013 Reader's Digest Hardback is in very good condition. Heavy; Large; No DJ As Issued. Appears unread.
