With no little skill and imaginative flair, History's Greatest Deceptions chronicles the 50 most remarkable tales of fraud and forgery. Chapters include: Jesus' Kid Brother: Hong Xiuquan Get-Poor-Quick Scammer: Charles Ponzi Fooling Hitler: Operation Fortitude The Real-Life Da Vinci Code: The Dossiers Secret Come and See What's on the Slab: Alien Autopsy This beautifully presented volume, which includes over 80 photographs, paintings, and illustrations.
