Where does history come from, and how can we know what really happened? The answers to these questions are found in this thoroughly enlightening book.
Each nation tells its own history in its own way. This essential book dissects the other side of these narratives: who decides which facts and events will be taught to children, which truths are manipulated, or even denied. Comics and diagrams enrich a clear and simple text to explain how to dissect the stories presented to us, how to explore both recent and ancient history on your own, as well as the importance of this approach to understanding the current state of the world.
This is a history book like no other you have ever read. It does not merely recount past events: it explains where they come from, how they took shape, and why they can change depending on the narrator.
