We may say that credibility is the better policy, but background—to state little or nothing of business, politics, and the media—suggests usually. With this infinitely citable book, the author of two bestselling treasuries of scandal recounts a few of the best deceptions ever. Using what forged document have the Vatican lay claim to a lot of Europe? Who had written Hitler’s diaries? Why do large numbers still consider the hazy doggerel that Nostradamus handed down off as prophecy? Managing his materials by theme (con artists, the press, military trickery, scientific fraudulence, imposters, great escapes, and even more), Michael Farquhar consumes from the hoodwinking of Hitler to Vincent “the Chin” Gigante’s thirty-year crazy work.A Treasury of Deception is a zestful, gossipy exposé—and party—of mendacity.A Treasury of Deception also includes:
- Ten tricksters from scripture
- Ten great liars in literature
- Ten egregious examples of modern American doublespeak
- Ten traditional deceptions from Greek mythology
