SPIES, SADISTS AND SORCERERS

Spies, Sadists and Sorcerers unveils the history you were never taught at school. With a breath-taking sweep spanning Rome to the modern day, it challenges the traditional version of some of the best-known events of the past, debunking dozens of historical myths.

This book will challenge everything you think you know about history. Written simply and with humour, in 37 distinct chapters arranged chronologically, the result is a truly fascinating and provocative history book that is entertaining and always readable.
