Fake news about the past is fake history. Did Hugo Boss design the Nazi uniforms? Did Vikings have horns on their helmets? Did Napoleon shoot the nose off the Sphinx? *Spoiler Alert* The answer to all those questions is no. Jo Teeuwisse, better known as The Fake History Hunter, is on a one-woman mission to hunt down fake history and reclaim the truth for the rest of us. From the famous quote 'Let them eat cake' mistakenly attributed to Marie Antoinette to the apocryphal horns that adorned Viking helmets, fake history continues to shape the story we tell about who we are and how we got here. Yet every day false claims about the past are made in the news, in magazines and especially on social media. In this funny and illuminating book, Jo Teeuwisse debunks 101 myths so you can correct your friends and family and arm yourself with the tools to spot and debunk fake history wherever you encounter it.… (más)

Wonderful fun! This book is a gem filled with wonderful accounts of misquotations, fake news, and mistaken facts. I am pleased today that I was aware that most of these events weren't true, but there were still some surprises. A great read and a good laugh. ( )

I heard this author interviewed on the Professor Buzzkill podcast recently and loved what she had to say, especially about medieval Europe. Her book is good and entertaining. But she avoids controversy, not really dealing with problematic examples of ‘fake history’ that are widely believed today. For example, while she talks about how Hitler did not invent the autobahn, she doesn’t grapple with any of the other myths circulating around the Nazi dictator. So contentious issues are not really addressed, and we stay very much on the light entertainment side of the debunking business. That having been said, this was a fun book to read. ( )
